94+ Integra 4 door: condensation on the inside windows when parked in cold?
For 94+ Integra 4 doors
I noticed after driving and parking my car outside when it's cold or raining, even for 1/2-1 hour, I come back to my car and my windows are fogged up. There is nobody in the car. Front and mostly rear window. Some on the sides as well. I can see condensation build up from the sides of the side windows (where the windows meets the weather stripping).
Now I know moisture in the car can cause excess condensation inside the car, so I guess the inside is not air tight.
There is no water on the carpet of the front or rear seats. My windows are all closed up.
But there is a minor leak in my trunk. maybe from my tail light gasket.
So I thought of two ways that there is condensation. The weather stripping on the doors do not seal completely to the windows?
Also, the moisture of the water from the trunk can somehow seep through the rear seats and into the interior car cabin?
Or maybe through the sunroof but I close that tight as well.
So any ways to reduce the condensation of the inside of the car?

You nailed it. I had the same exact problem on my 4 door. Had to do two things. I raised the window up a tad on the panel that holds it, and I replaced the weather stripping, which was a PITA and cost a lot.
I don't plan to replace weather stripping since it might cost a lot and my old one is still in good condition.
