Default classic condensation

My classic gets terrible condensation, my new age/outback/Legy TT never suffered from it. Any ideas?

cheers

Hmm - mine does a bit (my00) back screen mists quite a lot in rain. No air con in mine.

Could it be a poor window seal?

Sometimes the inner door foils get cut to put bigger speakers in, or fix the 'leccy windows.
This lets water run inside the car.

I get this with my Turbo wagon first thing on a morning.

I used to get it with my old GL wagon then I found some water in the spare tyre well!!
I put some cloth in there and it sorted that out.

I've just gone and had a look in the spare tyre well and there was a fair bit of water. I've cleaned it up so hopefully that'll have sorted the condensation. I'll keep an eye on that to make sure there's no funny leaks anywhere.
But, that shouldv'e sorted that one

Matt, go check under your spare well mate, might be the same thing

will do m8, but mine is a saloon so would that still affect it.
Basically I have water in the car somewhere that is causing the condensation???????

any experiences welcome.

Rear light rubber seals allowing water ingress perhaps?

Heras an idea: Have you actually felt the carpets to see if they are damp?

Drips in from the boot lid seal, even though in perfect condition and then makes it down to the spare weel well. I have a plastic carton placed by the jack access that seems to collect it all. Only one side too...

Classics suffer from leaking light clusters Just unbolt (mind black stuff) then put lots of mastic around whole area then bolt up
Also take of your rubber boot seal scrape out groove then put mastic in groove and replace
Job done and no indoor swimming pool
