must be.. my drains also clear. I also have a '89 escort ready to meet the 'maker' which has never had a wet floor , but opened it for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday and it was soaking.

ill give the ac a go before i leave work. well the sun is on it at the mo so im sure it will work a treat.

the car was stud since middle of dec 10. becuase there was coffee on the oil cap witch seems to be going now so figured was condensation.

need to get it good and hot to drive off the condensation and generally dry-out the interior. Try leaving it running with everything turned to "hot" for an hour or two.

then clean the inside of the windscreen properly.

check if all your carpets are dry, clear out the scuttle drains, give the inside of the screen a clean with a good glass cleaner

i've never ever had a problem with the inside of any of my car windscreens holding water, even when the scuttles were blocked on my first omega and the carpets were wet, the glass had been properly cleaned previously and cleared very well with the heating on, i NEVER ever wiped them clean when they were misty, this makes them worse!
