nmadole Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I am getting about an inch of condensation on the rear window right at the bottom where the glass meets the carpet on the deck... anyone elso getting this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Strike- Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Might be from the tinting application, it'll probably evaporate. I noticed like maybe a half inch of condensation, while looking in the mirror, didn't crawl back there and look though to see if it was on the inside or what..

nmadole Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Took my car in today to get a scuff on one of my rims cleaned up and had them look at the condensation. They said there is an engineering tag out on the condensation. It is going to be a common problem in 2013 Fusions due to the slope of the back windshield, Especially in cold climates... The solution is simple sitting it in a heated garage for the day.. Condensation is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Strike- Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I noticed mine was gone already yesterday. You're probably right Igg, the defroster will probably evaporate it quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expresspotato Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I noticed quite a bit on mine as well enough to leave water droplets. Ran the front defogger on full for a while but they were still there. A heated garage might be in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionfan11 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've been driving a Se Hybrid off the lot for a couple weeks now, and I did notice this also. It does evaporate with the defroster on, but it does show up only on the bottom of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c.blackfoot Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I get condensation on my front windshield. The owners manual said to leave the defrost on; this is only vehicle that I have owned with this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expresspotato Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) I've noticed the car lets it self get a little moister than it should be... With the fan on Auto and defrost and foot vents on the front window is still a little fogged making it hard to see when other cars lights are on. I usually have to turn up the temp to 24c and the fan to one bar past half to get it to un-fog...

dwmilton Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 mmm....I read on another forum that there was an issue with the installation of the rear window on some of the 2013s. You'll notice we don't have trim around the glass. IIRC the issue was related to how the glass is laid in place. If not proper & even, the "gasket" can get displaced during install (the glass won't be properly sealed), resulting in condensation inside. I'd ask my dealer about this, maybe see if there's a way to check closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggnutts Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I've noticed a lot of moisture coming out of the inside of the doors getting on the windows when the go down and back up. Could be poor seals on the doors affecting front and rear shields as well. I'm worried about unseen surfaces rusting away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdh79 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I had to get my rear driver side window resealed few weeks ago cause there was water on the floor and under the drivers seat. I've had no problems since. So I would definitely check with your dealer for a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
