so would this be something other than just normal condensation that would be on the glass after driving that froze overnight?
Was the shade pull covering the glassback roof or was it retracted?

Could running the AC compressor while driving (with the heat on, of course) help dry out the interior a little better before getting out of the car the night before?

OK, so get it back today, and the guy tells me that there was a small gap in the front window, near the passenger side. It was resealed and should be good. Sooooooooo has anyone heard this line to only have the problem come back? It sounds good, I just dont want to go and get super happy about it just yet. But again, thanx for all the imput.

Did you ever hear any wind noise before the dealer did the so called glass adjustment? If I had never heard any wind noise I would be suspicious. If the crack was big enough to let that much moisture in it would have been making some noise. Also, I would think you would have noticed water in your car after you washed it.

Yea, I didnt notice anything. I go outside today and every car is fine, mine, lots of condensation. Now, it does look more like condensation, rather than ice, but my thoughts are could it be because of the glass roof? Basically the entire upper half of my car is glass. so theres no insulation and or plastic parts behind it, like a body panel would have. So the inside of my car is going to get way colder than most cars. I'm going to get a NOAH car cover and see if that changes things. There hasnt been rain here in a while, and I had the heat on in the car a while last night so I know there wouldnt have been any moisture in the car after I got out. So in the end, could this simply be from the glass roof?????

just turning on the heat in the car won't help. It may even hurt, as warm air can hold more moisture.
You need to run the AC compressor by turning on the AC. You don't have to have it set on COLD, so just set the HEAT to whatever setting warms you up best. Then you'll have warm but DRY air which is always what you want when driving with any sort of condensation. Fogging up of windows, especially at the bottom of the windshield, can be stopped in second by running the AC.
