Here's a new one...

Anyone experience condensation on the sun visor mirrors???
We have been parking the car out in the driveway the last few weeks and have noticed a few drops of water dripping from behind the mirror and on to your lap when the visor is used. The water or condensation is not seen on the mirror itself, but rather comes from behind it. Of coarse the first thing I checked was if water was coming in from the sun roof or ceiling area, but all is perfectly dry.
Its confined to only the passenegers side and have not observed this on the other.

I would go to your dealer and have them check around the windshield for problems with the seal.

L.O.L.... Sorry, no the windshield is original to the car... There is no way the water is coming from the windsheild. The car is COMPLETLY dry inside. For me, it would be quite evident if it was leaking. Even if it was, how do you explain the drips coming from the inside of the visor and no where else inside the entire car???

Yea, I thought that too..... I've checked everything and the interior ceiling is absoultly dry... Water would have to travel down to the visor brackets in the ceiling and into the interior of the visor and then leak out the mirror without leaving any evidence of water or staining on the ceiling or exterior of the visor itself made of cloth???? No way..... Its simple condensation, I just find it strange how it could happen in a car interior's visor vanity mirror housing.

I've heard this leads to SBS malfunction, crack block, and blown head gasket.....Time to trade-In.

Just kidding.
