Both....front AND rear. The front did leak a little, but they removed it FOC and resealed it.
It's dry now.

Well I've had my front screen replaced in the past and i have the same condensation problem as you,also with no explanation for it. Just wondering if having windscreen replaced is the cause,even though you say you had yours resealed..

It was replaced due to stone damage. I then immediately noticed damp carpets on the passenger side, so took it back. The removed the trims and could see where it hadn't sealed, so removed it and resealed it.

Been fine since, (Five years). The carpets are dry.

I think I'll try sticking the dehumidifier in the car, see what that does, how much water it collects.

I had mine replaced because of stone chip too. Haven't found any wet spots anywhere and mine was replaced well over a year ago. Maybe the glue or seal is no good

If that were true, it would allow water in and I'd find it.
Seriously...the amount of condensation it's producing is enough to wet the carpets, yet it doesn't.

You would think it would be wet inside but mines not and sometimes it looks like rain drops inside on inside of windscreen
