cold car inside, possible broken seal?

[ScottHmk4]

Hi guys went out to the car this morning and by gawd it wasnt half cold. I know its been getting colder and condensation is among us but it wasnt as bad last year inside. i was breathing and you could see it as it was soo cold inside. the window on the inside also isnt just condensating there is water droplets on the inside :s, i know it wasnt that bad last year and were not even at snow yet. perhaps a broken seal somewhere?

Most likely a broken seal, They tend to leak at the top just on the bend (If you get me)
I took mine back under warranty

i will have a look to see i can see any problems

Mine was like this last year until I remembered to close the air vent before I left it overnight... this helped me, but yes you could have a faulty seal.

Alternatively wear more clothes / thicker jacket and you won't notice the cold so much.

yeh major, im also convinced my rear window heater doesnt clear as fast as it used to, takes ages now but working on the headlights today to try solve the mysterious mk4 condensation problem

Closing the vents is a good idea. I'm going to try that!

First signs of winter this morning. Car was covered in Ice/Frost, it was cold in that car this morning
