I get condensation on the trim also....do you keep the windows partly open allowing humidity in the car? Also, you might try using the recirculate feature since this keeps outside air loaded with moisture this time of the year from getting inside the car in the first place. I always use recirculate on my cars during the humid summer months...it makes for dryer air inside the car, and eliminates the condensation.

Every time it rains my rear windows get extremely foggy. Why, I have no idea. Of course I have tried everything: used rear defroster, AC on multiple temp settings opened windows (rain came in) tried heater, tried fox-ex, and of course even tried taking it to Acura! Of course Acura cant fix it, they could not reproduce the problem and said it was normal!

I haven't seen it yet on my TL, but it happened frequently in my '93 Camry.

The problem most frequently occurred on very humid days when I had the a/c on and the moonroof opened.

I don't have my tl yet, but there should be an option to choose between outside air and recirculate inside air. If you are not pulling in fresh air from outside, you will get the windows fogging.

I absolutely get condensation along the trim near cup holders/center console. Anyone question service on this. I know why...the vents for rear a/c run along that path...probably not enough insultation.
