    I have a 2014 DCSB and it seems that im getting alot of condensation on the inside of my windows in my truck. I know its been kinda humid, but its like when you leave one window cracked and it rains, it makes moisture gather on the windows. Well mine is doing that, but im not leaving any windows down or anything, its just collecting moisture inside the windows.

    Is there anyone elase having this issue, if so, how have you stopped it?

    I use the defrost setting to clear the windshield when it happens.

    You may want to check for a damp floor/carpet on the passenger side for leaks from the windshield or air conditioning drain.

    Do you have the a/c set to "MAX" all the time? If so, turn the temp knob up 1 spot to shut off "MAX". This will allow fresh air into the cabin, where as the "MAX" setting recirculates the same air causing the humidity to climb. It's really not meant to be used all the time.

    Had the same problem at the beginning, after cleaning the windshield 100x it is gone. There was some kind of film on there from the factory

    I use the max setting, but not all the time. I roll the windows down alot as well. It only seems to happen after its been parked a while. Its kind of aggrevating ya know. I dont want moisture building up inside my vehicle all the time. This is the first vehicle i have ever owned that done this, all the other ones never have done it. Thought it might have been window not sealing good or something. I just dont want it to eventually tear something up.

    I have found on all my vehicles that starting out the defroster on a warm setting and slowing going down to the cool eliminates this problem.

    These are all good replies, but my problem is happening when the truck hasnt been running. Like when i go to work, shut it off, work my shift, come back out and there condensation on the inside of the windows. And i cant seem to figure out exactly whats causing it. The windows arent cracked, the doors are shut, i dont have a rear sliding glass, shouldnt be having any condensation inside the truck. I park out in the sunshine all day, so i know its not a shade/sun issue.

    Sounds like you might have some water in your truck to start with.....

    Start poking around your carpets & such...to check for water.
