I assume you're talking about the center armrest. If so, I noticed this as well. It occured when I drove with my window down and forgot to turn A/C off. The A/C blows through the center console to the back vent and in high humidity, such as here in FL, condensation occurs. BTW...what color TL?

Yep....it's gonna happen anywhere the humidity is high. Happened to me a few weeks ago when the humidity was off the scale. Keep the windows up and that should keep the interior dry.

I haven’t had any trouble with moisture but I do have the bumper color problem. There’s a thread (White Diamond Pearl Issues) where we have been discussing the bumper color issue. Is your car White Diamond Pearl?

If you were running the A/C for awhile and turned it off while it is humid out you may (might?) get some condensation in there. I personally don't have this issue but do know that when the A/C is on the entire center console get's pretty cold. The A/C vents through the center console out the back to the rear seat. So this might me a possible scenario.
