I have same problem. No idea why. 

I've found that 2 portable dehumidifiers in car help massively. Tesco do a pack of 4 small dehumidifiers for about a fiver. Basically a small plastic box with little absorbing balls in it. Lasts about a month then get new ones. Even got my father in law buying them.

Im afraid you wont ! Up under the roof lining is usually soaking wet and in cold damp days it tends to run down the inside of the windscreen. I have that problem so i have bought two of those silicone filled pouches that sit on the dash in an attempt to soak up any moisture in the air. They change colour in the middle and when that happens you stick them in the microwave to dry them out and reuse. only solution is keep the windows open slightly, say half an inch or so to allow air circulation, best if you have wind deflectors fitted in case it rains. Thats what im trying now after condensation destroyed my keyless entry/start RF antenna which is up in the roof lining.

I'm sure there's many of us waiting for this result haha

try haveing your air-con on while driveing around and replace pollen filter each year if you haven`t replaced it yet .

Has somebody pulled off the door seals (that hang out the doors)?

I had similar with wet roof lining and footwells and frozen screen on the inside. What it happened was that someone in the past had a roof rack and it was took off and the bolt holes were left open in the channels. I sealed these again and what with other works I done the issue stopped. Cant say 100% what the fix was as did a few things at once but worth a check.

 

Heater pipe O rings, windscreen seal, bulkhead seam, roof gutter seams, tailgate shut seams (Fords seam sealer is pants and cracks with age), pollen filter, air con drain, rubber door seals and water off big wet boots, the list is endless i'm afraid.  Would you be the son of a cobbler by any chance ?
