After a cold/raining night or just even a very cold day i get condensation on the inside of my back window.

This hasnt really been bothering me that much, but now i plan to move my focal splits from the front to the rear parcel shelf so i can get some new splits for the front, and i dont want wanting dripping from the back window onto my speakers and destroying them.

Should i buy something (what to buy?) and go over all the seals on the back window, or what could my problem be?
thanks.

Ahh mate, thats quite normal :)

The condensation on the inner pane are not normally dense enough to create droppings so you shouldn't be too concern. Otherwise, just put some grilles on for some extra protection, you should anyway to keep away those prying eyes.

Windows steaming up (when there's nobody inside) is usually a symptom of leaking glass.
Leak can be due to either bad seals or the metal frame is rusting out.


Dry your car interior thoroughly - leave windows slightly open when parked on hot day
and use your aircon regularly as a demister, it should never have condensation.

my windows fog up quite regularly, but thats beacause of a whole different reason. :cool:

it should never have condensation



What do you mean, its abnormal to get condensation in cold weather? All of our family's cars do it, and then some.

Yeah I didn't pay my parking fine. That's all they could do was ban me because my car and my licence are not within ACT's juristiction. Otherwise they would have suspended my licence and/or rego.

We drove the Magna to Canberra...

geez, sure is lots of fun driving around in either
1) big cocentric circles around the pointy building with the big flag
2) straight lines either towards or away from the big flag


Got stuck at 8am Peak Hour Traffic in the middle of ACT... car never stopped moving. :D

Poor old AstronII pinged and chuffed a lot - breathing in all that unhealthy Hot Air... :doubt:

Yeah, grilles will go over the top of course, but grills do have holes :p

I want to go over my window seals with something just to make sure, what should i use?
I was told not to use silicon as it can eat away at the paint.

press the back window demister........lol

Silicone sealant will not eat paint.

Bathroom silicone produces acetic acid when it cures, which can promote rust.
So go for the "neutral cure" silicone... you might have to look a little bit harder to
find it, but ppl use it for making fish tanks etc so its not impossible to find.
