Normally cold night followed by early morning sunshine shining on the glass.
As long as the glass isn't cracked & there's no standing water in there, then I wouldn't worry too much mate. The condensation will go away when the water has evaporated.

Solutions... Nice warm garage? Cover the car up if left outside? Park the car the other way round to stop the sun shining on the front end?

Just seemed strange that it's just the pass side and not the drivers side yet glass seems to be in tact. Not worried but does spoil the look of the front end ! Mind you, if that's the only problem i got with my S1, i should think myself fookin lucky ! Will keep an eye on it. Cheers for the reply shawn.
