Water or cold, moist air getting into the car somehow.

Check for poor door / sunroof etc seals.

Also, look for signs of leaks; if the carpets are wet then that leads to these problems.

If non of the above try closing the vents before locking up the car.

might wanna check the seals on your windows, make sure none of them are a little bit off.

is your car stored outdoors by any chance? if it is then maybe it's because if you have the heater on while your driving and then your car cools down really quick then condensation tends to accumulate, just like the reaction that causes fog, cold air meeting warm air makes fog, hot window turning quickly into cold window makes condensation, dont know why, just an idea

Could be a problem with your aircon

Had a similar problem on just the lower half of the windscreen when aircon was on but was OK when it wasn't. Had the aircon serviced as part of the normal service and have not had this problem since

ave just found out by checking the car over that my aircon needs to be re-gased how can it be done and does it need to be done by a toyota dealer or can i give it a bash my self. and could this be causing the condensation on the back window
