Chuffin Renault again....
Discussion
Having had countless troubles with my own car (Espace).
The Mrs is now having great trouble keeping her screen from misting up inside to the point of dripping with condensation when she returns to it at the end of the day / morning.
The aircon has run out in a timely and annoying fashion, and it would appear its storing up moisture to hinder any given trip.
This might seem minor, but im so sick of everything to do with Renault, I cannot wait to get shot of both of them!
Any good short term ideas for keeping the condensation at bay until we can get rid of these hideous pieces of automotive s
t would be greatfully received!

I'll add it to my list of stuff if he ever comes back to me

Sounds to me like the matrix is leaking, not unknown on Renaults. Is the coolant level dropping over time, even a little? It only takes a little leak to mist up the interior.
I have this concern as well - and if it is Im assuming big bucks for someone to pull the dash out and check it out!? (Hence me not rushing to fix the aircon until this is rectified)
Following all the aforementioned hassle Ive had with Renault its pretty much a straw breaking a camels back with this. I've suggested we pick a dry day and head down to a dealership (of another manufacturer obviously) and chop it in for someone else to have the joy of fixing.
Ive had problems with other (makes of) cars in the past - but nothing like the catalogue of cr@p we've had with the Renaults - and these are the newest cars both of us have owned!
That'll teach me for trying to scrimp at the outset and just settling for Renault I suppose - although neither of us really thought we were scrimping at the prices we have to pay here (Belgium). It is truly frightening!
Does it smell musty and 'orrible as well?
Check the sound deadening mat under the carpets - any leak, or being left with open windows, or lots of trailing water/snow into the car will cause the sound mat to soak up water . . . and then it all gets released over the warmer day, especially if you have the heat onto your feet, and condenses on the screen overnight.
And have you checked the heater/scuttle drains for leaf mould and rubbish - if they are blocked, all the rain water gets fed into the heater, and either blown up onto the screen, or drains out onto the floor . . . see above . . .
And turn the air inlets to fresh, not recirc!

CHECK YOUR POLLEN FILTER!!!!!
Sorry for the caps. My Galaxy has a sodden pollen filter and steams up unless I put the air con on, tis a common problem. I would advise swapping this before spending money elsewhere.
I have bought a new filter but I need the arms of a two year old gorilla to get to it.
