2014 JK condensation inside my freedom top
This has never happened to me, I'm a life long jeep owner. I live in CHI-RAQ and we got some big snow last week and the inside of my freedom top was dripping water. Has this happened to anyone ? And how did you fix it ? Thoughts ? Ideas ? Please.

Warm air in cab. Moisture from breathing or any moisture in cab..might even be a steaming cup of coffee. Cold surface of roof. Equals condensation. Only an insulating roof liner will help or better yet leave the front 2 side windows cracked open a quarter inch or 2.
Ever noticed as you drive through traffic on a cold morning that there is always 1 car with 5 people in it and the windows are totally fogged up?
Bet a thousand bucks the air system is set on recirculation instead of fresh air intake AND the windows are all closed tight.

This could also be an indication that you have a leak and your carpet is wet. That happened to me. I had some condensation. I pulled up my quadratec front mats and discovered that my drivers side carpet was drenched. I didn't know before that because the mat effectively covers the carpet.

Closed windows and yes àny moisture brought inside including coffee cup. Where do you think the moisture goes. Breathe onto a mirror. Not only shows you're alive but how much moisture regular breathing puts out.

I'm going to bet on the wet carpet as mentioned above.
The only time I get condensation inside the top is when I sleep in the JK on a cold night, (17°F kind of cold).
A pair of wet gloves has fogged up the windows overnight, but not the top.
