Windows Fogging When Parked

[C4talyst]

I picked up a 2020 ST a couple weeks ago; currently at 1,500 miles. It's been parked the past two days under heavy rain at times. Today I noticed the windows were heavily fogged with condensation on the inside. Has anyone else had this issue?

Ain't only but one thing that creates the fogging condition; water. A lot of times this can be attributed to the heater core, however given the history of the new Explorer/Aviators, I would not rule out a leak somewhere in the doors/widows/sunroof areas.

Unless you've been getting in during or after a rain a lot, so you brought moisture into the cabin with you, then you need to take it to a dealer to find the source of the leak.

In the meantime, if you have a dehumidifier, put it in the vehicle with the doors and windows shut to pull as much moisture out as possible, before it gets funked up with mildew. If you have no dehumifier, leave the front doors open and put a big fan in the back to blow air through it, obviously indoors or when it's not extra humid outside.

My f350 has been sitting outside for a while (usually garaged). Ingot in it the other day and the entire moonroof had water droplets on the inside.

When I grabbed several napkins to wipe it up, I got showered on from all the droplets falling lol. First time it had happened and hasnt happened since. And no I do not have a leak.

So, embarrassed to post this but thought some would want to know. My daughters were in a parade with their girl scouts troop the day before and I left a pile of wet crap in the back, umbrellas, jackets, etc. That was it...

^ Beats the heck out of needing an exterior leak fixed !

Excellent! Beats all the other possible options by a LONG way......

Lol, makes me think that my moon roof my F350 was caused because of the same thing. I only use it to plow so very wet mats from snow covered boots etc. Makes total sense now and why it only happened one time.
