2011 2LT Interior Condensation Issue - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For the last couple of years my wife's Camaro has been having interior condensation issues during the autumn and winter months. I cannot figure out where it is coming from. Today it was really bad, beading and water running down the interior of the windshield.

Has anybody had this issue and figured out how to correct it? All the door seals look good, as well as the sunroof seal.

I am at a loss here as to what to do.

water leaking in some place, the exterior of the car goes down below the dew point and the moisture condenses on everything. The winders being the coldest they get it 1st. Could be in the trunk, maybe water laying around the battery or the ac drain blocked or slow. Does it have a sky light? Maybe a small leak around there collecting where you don't notice it. Lift the carpets until you find it. Unless its raining or going to rain crack the windows to at least help dry it out some. Nice days parked open the windows partially to try and get it dried out some.

I agree with PaulsSS. Check your rear trunk for water around the battery under the trunk cover. I had a leak in my former 2011 from the sunroof drain lines in which it poured into my trunk and left a puddle. But since you said water was beading down the interir of the windshield, I wonder if the weatherstrip around the windshield has rotted on the inside causing this to happen? Have you got any pics of this occurring?
