Find where it leaks then dry out the interior.

There should be no condensation inside a frequenty used car.

Hmm not noticed any leeks - the door seal on the drivers side drip very occasionally.

Its used as my daily driver MK1.

Try feeling under the rear parcel shelf for moisture. You have the top sheet then you have the insulation material fitted to another sheet. My insulation was drenched although it was totally hidden by the top sheet.

I too had a dripping drivers side and other holes in my roof, until had a new roof fitted which has sorted that. Currently have bear metal shelf and have seen no further moisture.

Also to add the roof is only about 9 months old.

Can't see or find any leaks from that.

Mines always done this. Even when used for a few hours every day so nice and toasty. Obviously the issue is moisture in the car. So people have been suggesting some moisture absorbing products such as:

Also if you do have a new roof and a wet parcel shelf, check the stitching/glue around the rear window to make sure it's actually water tight. Mine "oozes" in heavy rain.

You shouldn't need any products really.

Problem is that the carpets are almost waterproof (they let water through but not back)

Pull a few back and feel the insulation on the rear shelf and behind the seats.

If damp the only option this weather is to remove them (unless you want to hire a proper dehumidifier)
