(T) Interior Condensation

Hey All

Got a problem with my new Bravo - condensation. The back window is getting very wet everyday, the rear light clusters are misting up and the door windows are doing the same.

Can't see any evidence of water leaks - any advice?

I have noticed the light clusters get condensated but i have read on another website this does happen, and should demist during the day, its the time of year as well which don't help.
The windows only seem to mist up if it is really cold or there has been a lot of rain, what settings do you have your climate on, for the time being i have the temperature on 20c and on auto, plus have windscreen vents and feet switches on, that seems to keep everything ok.

I'm wondering if the lower amount of glass on a Bravo compared to other models means a smaller area for the condensation to form, but the same amount of moisture in the air perhaps leads to denser condensation?

Have you got your a/c on recirculate? i.e no air coming in from outside? if so , that will be your problem, Also, use your a/c all of the time, it acts as a dehumidifier.

Did some investigating today and noticed that, if you pour water on the small windows on both back doors, it runs inside the doors and ends up in the interior!

If you do the same to the windows that move, it goes round the skin and drains to the ground as expected. Seeing as it's the same on both doors, I'm wondering if it's a design fault?

Problem solved: booked it into the garage, and they found that the inner door skins aren't very well sealed. They performed leak tests, and then dried the door, and resealed the skins with a strong, waterproof sealer. Now, the water drains properly outside the doors.

Hopefully, this'll help!!!

I have noticed it likes to steam up like mad when it is raining, i will try what you did first and see if water does leak through those windows, if so i will get the car booked in.
Cheers for the advice

Well it's had to go back in again with this problem, as it's not solved on the passenger side. Not only has this had to be escalated to FIAT Technical, but the door trim is now weak, creaking, loose and scratched - can't seem to win at the moment!
