Interior frost?
 

Is this normal? Found this just now never seen anything like it, albeit it's -21 celcius outside right now. Should I do anything?

It's totaled. Sell it before it catches fire. Buy a civic. Problem solved.

That just means the humidity inside the car was high enough to produce frost as the car cooled. Don't use a hookah inside the car in the winter any more? Could also be something you cleaned the car with left residue that facilitated this?

I've never noticed it on anything other than windows. It's been hovering around the same temperature off and on here the last few weeks.

Also, totaled. Time to take the bus.

Omg :(, it's that rare of an occurrence?

Anything I should do in the meantime? I'm so sad right now :cry:

I am able to keep mildew out of my project cars in Oregon with a 100w light bulb...

I wonder how many BTU's it would take to combat -21c?

OP, I assume that you do not have a garage.

Buy one of those flame resistant flame suits.

Get damp rid and put it in the car. During summer time, the calcium carbonate will be a good desiccator. In the mean time you cant do much except scrape off the frost and throw it out. It'll mean you'll have rusty metal where there's exposed metal, like bolts under the carpet etc.

Buy lots of earplugs for when you gut the exhaust on your new civic and can't stand the sound. :D

More seriously - make sure to get the car up to temp and run the A/C with the heat (I think this happens by default as often as not), which will help dry things out. Be careful in the spring as things warm up - it may very well be excess moisture (or soaked out wet) somewhere that really should be dried properly; if it's into the carpet, that can cause mildew and mold.

Running the A/C with heat can still help with this.

May want to take your floor mats indoors and let them dry out completely. Often run into this in the winter from tracking snow into the car and it creating a moisture source.

Haven't seen it on the lower dash panels before, but its the same thing as when the windshield does it. If you have the chance to park at a spot warm and dry, leave the windows cracked open slightly to allow evaporation to occur and the moisture to leave the car.

Crack your windows a tiny bit overnight.

My windows have been freezing on the inside pretty bad this winter (first winter of not having the car garage parked overnights) and cracking the windows a touch has helped.

I usually run my heater on high with the windows down before turning off the car for the night to prevent this.

I had it happen the other day after having two people in the car and the heater on recirculate and not airing it out.

I suggest you get a room next time ....... :D

I was going to suggest that the OP wears a carbon filter mask and to stop farting in his car..

Quick get it a blanket and some hot cocoa with a splash of bourbon. That'll warm her right up.
