I had this problem to what I'm guessing was a much worse degree in my old Toyota Hilux 1992, on the cold winter mornings the condensation actually froze and I had to scrap the ice of the inside as well.

A bit of a long shot but you don't happen to have the recycle button selected on the airflow controls. The last time I did that the cabin got nice and warm and all the windows steamed up. |

Odd as the area above the vents is the last place that mists up on mine and of course the first place that clears. I do leave the aircon on all year as I like the climate control and this is known to help dry out the interior. The pollen filter gets changed each year, (I do check its been done at service). |

Ok, had a good look around car, air con drain looks ok to me, no wet carpets, been spraying water around and over car no obvious leaks! Put talc in boot no water or evidence of it, given that car mist up above vents could it be heater matrix ? Am keeping an eye on water level, any other ideas? |

Bought some moisture magnet things from Lakeland, and they seem to be helping, doesn't seem to mist up as much when parked etc , however now it seems to mist up almost immediately you turn on ignition, sometimes clears straight away and other times have to sit and wait for a while, mine just has ac not climate control so leaving it on all time, thinking it maybe matrix issue, am keeping and eye on water levels but ok so far.

I have the same issue with my 07 plate,I've only had it 2 weeks and it steams up in the same place as yours just above the vents,so much so it's dripping on the dash. |
