Can someone guide me in the right direction as to why all the rear windows condensation up as soon as you get in??????

Ive checked for damp/wet carpets but they are ok and there is no water in the spare wheel well either!

Could it be the door seals?

Any ideas or someone else got the same problem?

The two usual suspects are:
Leaving the air intake on "recirculate" instead of "fresh air",
and having a busted heater matrix.

If they get condensation when you get in, my money's on the former

Also if its like most turbo 2000's the door/window seals are not very good due to the pillarless doors and let a bit of damp in on a rainy night. As soon as you get in it the air warms up and condenses on the cold windows. You won't see any noticeable water in the car but after washing the car you'll be able to see where the water seeps through the denatured seals.

As Alcazar says, making sure you don't use recirc and always use a decent fan speed makes sure that you get lots of fresh(dry) air in it and will def help for the following day.

Check the spare wheel well.I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago and when I checked the well was half full of water

if you have water in the spare wheel well its usually perished grommets under the wheel

mine was my heater matrix it had the smallest of leaks, use your air con on 25 and half speed to clear it, then see next day if steams up i'd be looking at the matrix, it always leaks the ecu side of the car

I've had similar on my Wagon. Think I've tracked it down to the door seals. Adjusted the rear windows by no more than 1mm and added some sealant behind the metal door surround and noticed a considerable improvement. Because of the design, you'll never get it perfect, but you can make it better.

Of course also helps if you don't let the temperature difference between inside and outside the car get too great as well.

Changing the air intake to "fresh air" instead of "recirculate" seems to have sorted it!

Usually the simplest things.
