Is that with the air con off or on?
Remember if you have had the aircon on and you turn it off, there is a sudden condensation, as moist air is brought in from outside onto the cool, dry glass. Air con should dry the air if it is working.

Don't forget that the air con won't operate at 5 degrees or lower.

i keep the temp in my car at around 20 deg, with the climate control on, it has been cold over the last few weeks i suppose, but i dont think my old audi's used to steam up as much.. even my dials steamed up the other day, now that cant be right!! tha audi guys are going to check it out for me on thursday, they say it could be a damp pollen filter, or blocked drain off pipes from the air con unit.. oh well, i'll keep my fingers crossed.. cheers [img]images/graemlins/s4addict.gif[/img]
