Vacuumed Air Tight Speedometer?
Just about any slight moisture I find on the windows kill me in the winter. I hate them and believe that they only appear in cheap cars, for the cheap glass they use. You never see moisture in the nice glasses that Mercedes and BMW use. Now, it is worse, the clear plastic covering of my speedometer even has fcuking moisture in it when I first get into the car on a cold day. Wtf is going on? Shouldnt it be vacuumed of air or something to prevent this? Is there a problem? A fix?

^^^ lol good one
Your only choice with minor things is to go back to the dealer and complain your heart out... But be firm dont let the dealer push you around because he thinks your young and dumb,state your issue. Also I dont think this has anything to do with cheap glass,my dad has a 2000 528 and his window do the same alot.

If you're getting moisture buildup in your gauges, you probably just have too much moisture in your car. It might be worth putting a Damp-Rid in your car while it's parked just to help dry out your interior. If it's still a problem, contact your dealer as suggested above.
Regarding condensation on the windows, it has nothing to do with the price of the car, unless you're describing the dual-pane window option on the most expensive of cars. Bottom line is that glass gets cold and there will always be condensation when moist air meets cold glass. Rid your car of the moisture and you'll be rid of the condensation.

The OP is kidding, right? What are they teaching these kids in High School these days?
Condensation really does not have anything to do with the quality of glass. The issue with condensation is usually related to improper use of the HVAC system in the car. The TL's fully Automatic mode seems smarter than the average consumer when it comes to properly adjusting the balance between AC, Heat, Fresh, and Recirc air.
If you're having a lot of condensation on the interior of your car's windows or gauges, then you need to figure out how to use the car's HVAC system. RTFM or just put it on full Auto and let it take over for you. If you have the recirculation on, then there is your problem. If you're forcing the AC off (even in the winter) then that's the issue.
