NO .If you have condensation on your windows and dampness inside your car ..it's either an open window or one of your rubber door/boot seals is knakerd... these aint expensive and reletivley easy to replace .... if its not this it could be a window seal or a boot seal or somthing like that .. check all seals and it could even be caused by leaving damp clothes or anything slightly wet in your car when its shut for a long time!!!!!! hope this helps fella !!!

As above really,

Also if you have a sunroof that sometimes might be knackered. The wet clothes things is spot on aswell, i had an old mini before my corsa, and i used to put a rag on the windscreen in the winter to try stop it frosting up. One morning i took the rag off and threw it in the back behind my seats, next morning i had frost on the inside of the windscreen, i was like :shock: WTF! then after a little look around i realised it was the damp rag that i had used to try stop the outside freezing up.

Defo worth a scout around the car.
