Condensation in the center of the windshield?
I noticed that when I left the temperature setting on slightly cool, just turned off the A/C / fan, that a pretty good bit of condensation formed in the center of the windshield just above the dashboard. Is this normal? I turned the temperature to a warmer setting and hit the defroster to get rid of it. Just making sure that I don't have some sort of leak or anything.

Read the fan operation part of your manual, I believe that it says something to the effect of always having to have the fan on or condensation will form??

Sounds normal to me. Little or no airflow plus humidity levels and/or temperature differenceswill often result in windows fogging up. Keeping the inside of the windows clean will mitigate (but not stop) condensation/fogging.

It can happen on any car. Just has something to do with the moisture in the air and temperature of the glass when it hits it. Dont worry and have a great day.

No, it's not on recirculate. I was just a little worried because it only formed in this one spot in the center of the windshield. Thanks for all the feedback. (^_^)d

Its normal but to be sure pull your carpet back on the passengers side
and check for the dreaded under dash water dispensor some stangs
came with. [:@]
Catch it early and by-pass the moldy smell that is in the future.

I get it all the time, I think part of it is dependent on the humidity where you live.I live in FL, so pretty much any time I run my AC I'll get it over time. Annoying? Yes. Problem? Nah.
