What would cause condensation on the inside of all the windows
 
Fixed a leaking vapor barrier last week. All the floors are dry and I couldn't find any dampness anywhere. It was so wet that I had to dry all the windows with a towel. Any ideas?

it is still wet - it doesn't have to be wet to the touch... keep the windows cracked open (on dry days) and have it air dried over time...

also run the A/C all the time to help dehumidify the interior until the the problem goes away.

And also make sure that the fresh air flaps are open & not closed. No green LEDs should be illuminated on your AUC (auto recirculation) button.

Did you check trunk for water?

Other than that, just humidity on the inside. You should leave something cracked to let the car vent.

Awesome info guys!! Thanks!!

Also, when the vent turns on by itself at startup, leave it. That helps vent the car.

^^ What they said - Running the A/C dries out the interior so run it as much as you can - regardless of the temperature you set make sure "A/C" is selected

Check the drains for your sun roof. They get clogged and the water runs into the cabin.
