Heavy condensation
Hey since winter weather is coming up, something that happened to me last year popped up and I just want to know if there is a fix.
So I park my car outside usually and so whenever I leave it overnight or a long period of time there's a heavy build up of condensation on my car (outside) and one time last winter I parked at a friends house over night and it I couldn't open my trunk or doors for a while because they were frozen shut...
It was not snowing/raining overnight or anything I know that condensation was building up on my car leading to it freezing shut... So does anyone else have this problem and any advice?
btw, my friend's car didn't freeze or anything... and no I can't always park inside.

I put a Remote Start because my IS has to sit outside. I'm out of garage bays and the IS drew the short straw. Now my car is nice and toasty, seats warm and windshield de-iced in the morning. Not too expensive if you care to install it yourself.

I see, good idea. But like I notice other cars don't freeze over like mine does... or even have this much condensation when left outside.
So is there something wrong in my car? like seals or anything...

You may want to go over your rubber seals with a light cleaner, to stop them from sticking. You can also put a very light coat of armor all or something like this to soften them a bit. May help, just sounds like it is cold and sticking.
