My boot appears completely dry but my rear window always has condensation on it.

I have that too.
I put it down to the 5lt bottles of screen wash i carry around in the boot.
Ive noticed at night when its cold, they get covered in condensation.
I assume they attract moisture and cause the rear screen to get oked when the temperature starts to rise early in the morning.
Could be wrong but il be taking them out at the weekend

My boot is empty. It’s weird every day I check for moisture

I wish mine was.
All manner of crap in mine.
I fitted the rear strut brace to stop it all bursting through into the car under heavy braking lol

Haha I heard that’s what the rear brace was for but I didn’t want to believe it

Get Gillette shaving foam. Put that foam on the window (where condensation appear) wait 10 minutes and after that wipe the window with towel. I am not joking!

Ok, what can I say? I'm a curious guy... so while I was shaving my face off I wondered: Gillete foam on the window? Really? What the hell - Let's go crazy (I hope the missus don't notices). And here's the result: mirror's right half side has been brushed with foam. After a bath there is plenty of condensation but not on that "shaved" half.

Got give you some credit @undertacher.
