Just called my local Fiat dealer, and they immediately stated it's a known problem, and they'd fix it. Booked in for Friday. They're also going to look at the left wing mirror, which doesn't have the same range of motion as the right mirror. First time I've had to call them, and quietly impressed with their response so far.... Cheers, Keith.

Inside the cluster there is sufficient space for a 25g bag of silica gel. I only did this a week ago but the moisture appears to have been absorbed and the clusters are clear. Not ideal, but it works. And, for the record, it is a 13 plate. Sent from my iPad using FIAT Forum I've seen mine condensated a few times.. but it seems to clear fairly readily..,  never bothered to look further , also 2013 Punto ( NOT EVO  )

Posts: 167 Thanks: 11 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Condensation in both rear light clusters! I doubt that is the case to be honest. The silica gel has removed all traces on moisture in the lens so it definitely has access to the area that the moisture is collecting. Either way, it shouldn't happen. The moisture could affect electrical contacts and regardless of this I simply don't like the look of it.
