No coverings here and am noticing significant condensation... I'll have to take it in soon.

I don't have any cracks, but I do have condensation on both sides. Has anyone got a response from Toyota on this?

Here's the TSB #: 068524-12-131-12

Specifically for the BRZ, but applicable to the FRS as well.

Damn. Things to expect if and when I do get my FRS.

Here's a great explanation I came across from usmanasif at my350z.com

Was this problem fixed? By dealership or owner?
