My Corsa B has been off the road since the end of October, i've got a problem with it getting full of condensation inside, the edges of the headlining are actually wet and it develops to the point where I have water drops running down the inside of the screen.
I've had the windscreen removed and resealed and bought a new weather seal for it but it still seems to be happening?
Any idea's of what I can do to stop this happening?
The car is on the drive btw (would usually be garaged but its full this year )

have you got a sunroof? sometimes the seal on that can leak, mine did. Or even the rail strips along the roof can rust and form a tiny crack underneath, water gets in when it rains heavy and runs into the roof lining. Mine did this and water would come into the interior light and drip onto the passenger seat. I just filled it with sealant and it stopped. Just a few suggestions.

Did you just take the headlining off and seal it from underneath?

My dad had this when he took the bmw off the road, he solved it with some wood shaving in a metal baking tray thing and put it in the oven untill very hot and put it into the car and it dried it out  .

Its normal for it to get condensation in the winter
Especially if its been sitting?
Dont forget theres plenty of holes/vents in the shell that will let damp in.
