Condensation behind dashboard and clock?

Okay. I just bought an 05 G35 and there is a lot of condensation behind the dashboard and clock screen. I know it is behind. I have tried using windex. How can I fix this? Will i have to take it apart and wipe the screen clean from behind? Can someone please help me. It is very annoying and cleaning it will give my G a much nicer look. Thanks

Can't you apply something hot on the other side or use a hair dryer until the condensation goes away?

He means blow a hair dryer while pointing it directly at the clock.


I guess its a free fix so try it out.

Heating the glass should cause the condensation to evaporate. Hopefully permanently.

Just hold the h.dryer at a safe distance in case you mess up the internal of the clock.

you shouldn't use windex on plastics. Windex has amonia, which will damage plastics.

It's a fairly open air system back there, behind the instrument panels, I can't imagine why you'd have condensation there unless you have water leakage from the outside that's hitting the heater core. This is just a wild guess.

GF had condensation after she had her car detailed/cleaned. It eventually went away over the summer from sitting in the sun.
