although this section is 'was it you', the condensation thing is a spiral, once the boot carpet gets wet, you'll get condensation, which will cause the carpet to get wet which will cause condensation which will cause the carpet to get wet which cause condensation which will.........anyway, you get the idea. take the carpet out to dry, leave the boot open on a dry windy day or put those drying packs in the boot (for caravans, like silica granules)

I'd been wondering why I had condesation in my boot. Through a bucket of water over the back end and turned out rear lights were leaking. Just need to seal them at the weekend.

Change the pollen filter, or at least stick it in a tumble drier for a while...

The moisture trapped will simply condense onto the coldest surface, mine this morning was covered on the rear screen, but the front was clear....

P.S. Usually rear light seals or spoiler mountings are favourite, unless it's had a replacement rear screen, and it's been sealed poorly....
