C30 R-Design Sport Condensation

Les Conway · Dec 31st, 2018, 15:48

I have a 2009 C30 R-Design Sport with a factory glass sunroof, which I’ve had from new. I’m getting a lot of condensation inside the car on the windscreen and the sunroof. Any ideas?

Could be the windscreen itself, when you’re in the car, gently push the screen outward and see if it moves...if it does, you have your answer.

It seems to be relatively common from what I’ve read on this and other forums.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Could be the sunroof drain tubes that run down through the A pillar. There is a join in the pipe at the dash board level which comes apart, allowing the water to run down behind the dash. Check for water under the carpet, mine was drenched.
It’ an easy fix, (see u-tube), but removing and drying the carpet isn’t fun.
I’ve just done mine and ended up buying a 2nd hand set from eBay.

Condensation now gone & smells better!

Looks like you were right MStedman, where hopefully it’s all fixed.

Many thanks.
