During lockdown my car has only had a run for a hour every 2 weeks or so.

I get in yesterday and there's condensation everywhere as if I've left a wet coat in there (I haven't) or left one of the doors ajar (again no - they're self closing and all appears shut, as did the windows/sunroof).

Is there a drain or something on the car that could cause this?

I've put a couple of anti-condensation bags in there now to soak up the moisture that's in there but would like to get to the cause.

Any ideas?

Have you looked into the yellow grommet issue and have you checked to see if your rear carpets are damp at all?

Defo this.

Rear carpet wet behind the passenger seat, or perhaps below the glove box as it reaches the floor ?

Our touring had the yellow grommet issue, I had to left the rear carpet behind the passenger seat and dry it out, must have been a half bucket full of water sloshing round and soaked into the carpet/ sound deading.
