991.2 condensation

[Hian]

Hi,
have a 2016 991.2 Carrera that has recently started to accumulate a lot of condensation inside, even the sport chrono clock on the dashboard appears to have some condensation. Carpets and interior are dry, no signs of leaks and doing a search this seems fairly common. Is it? I'm assuming it's more related to the winter weather?
Cheers
Ian

A more thorough check has revealed some dampness to the carpet in the rear passenger footwell, any ideas of what the cause could be?
Thanks
Ian

I don’t have any direct experience but check you door deals and make sure the window is going all the way up when shutting the door. The window might need a reset if a bit low.

Thanks, checked this and all seems ok. Searching the forum and net, seem like it might be the rainwater drains could be blocked. Will try checking these tomorrow, although not sure where they are!

My passenger window is often not closed properly = condensation if I've not checked it. Need to get it in the OPC. The giveaway is that the fans make a whistling sound if the window is slightly down when de-misting the windscreen.

a lot of condensation, all of a sudden suggests something damp somewhere. May not be the same but on my 987 the carpets are thick foam backed and they can hold water when the surface feels very dry. I had a leak at the rear firewall somewhere. The foam is a bh to dry and need the carpets wedge up with a fan blowing right at it. I bought a big back of desiccated silica to leave in the car which helped. Took a few days to get the carpets dry and the glass clear again
