I've come across another FG and a BF that also had condensation on the rear windscreen. I've owned several fords between XF - EL models and never had this issue..........is there a design fault that I should be concerned with causing this affect? ( that could ultimately be leading to rusting around the rear windscreen ) For instance........XF's used to rust badly in the sill under the windscreen wipers and around the rear quarter window panel, and most EL's rusted under the sills ( under the doors ), that ran the length of the car. Yes, there are a lot of little other area's, but these are the ones I've had experience with several times. I have come across in this forum earlier, that a missing rubber gromment ( from near the front door hinges can cause water to trickle down the pillar and rust out the bottom and cause major issues if not addressed early. Thoughts anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this as soon as I first noticed the condensation, and found nothing damp or wet. I pulled all the boot liners off, checked the parcel shelf, and all was dry. Having mentioned that I saw the same issue on a FG and BF, I thought this may be a common issue on all FG's..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
