Interior humidity, wind noise

I get ice in my windows from the inside quite often, sometimes it's really bad, also the interior rear view mirror does ice up too when I'm driving sometimes

This seems to be particularly bad with this car


after further investigation today:

I left the car alone for the night and this morning it was fine (after all it sat only a few hours and was protected from the wind) but the passenger side window still had some ice on the inside..

at highway speeds my passenger was able to tell me that wind was coming in from the top of the window and we could hear the wind noise as usual.

So this brings me to another question, since I know the weatherstripping is ok (I put 3M double sided tape EVERYWHERE, so it HOLDS!) is it possible that the window wouldn't be adjusted correctly? like it doesn't go up 2-3mm enough?

I don't see what else could cause this, as I said the car made this noise from the beginning, but only now in the very cold days of winter I can feel the bad side effects of it.

A better bet is to use ski goggle anti fog solution. Also, make sure your floor mats are clean and dry. What happens is if they are wet or you have alot of snow inside the vehicle, it melts when its warm inside the car and gives you the humidity, then freezes. clean dry floor mats and carpet go along way to prevent this.

i had an old Cadillac that did the same thing. turns out i had a leak at the firewall and water leaked into the car. so what happened was the moisture in the car fogged up the windows, then it froze cuz it was cold out. make sure no water is gettin in. feel your carpets everywhere. all the way up under your dash.
