The boot is the main area for holding water mate, if you pull the boot carpet up at both ends (left +right sides) there's sometimes a puddle of water in both sides of the boot floor? there are rubber grommets in them at the bottom that you can pop out if there is water in them?

I took my grommets out and left them out and its not been too bad since, but i also use Rain-X, Anti-Fog on the windows which pretty much eliminates any condensation? :thumbup1:

The inside of my sunroof has a fair bit of condensation in the cold weather, but nothing anywhere else so far Smile

Yeh its Anti-fog made by Rain-x mate, works very well, also used the rain-x water repellent in the past and that's very good? rain just seems to run off the screen when driving without the need to use the wipers? :thumbup1:

Very common if the car has a non Toyota/lexus oil filter as some of them have no anti return valve check the filter.

does the light only go out when you pull away in gear, so if you let it idle will it illuminate all the time??
