How can I solve my car's condensation problem?

I have recently bought a two year old Ford Focus (still left supposedly with one year manufacturer's guarantee). However, in the mornings, the inside of the windscreen is often misted up. My local ford dealer will not look at this problem as he says this is not covered by Fords guarantee!

I have taken the car back to the Ford garage I purchased it from (two hours drive away) and they have found no leak. They suggest the car suffers from condensation and this is quite normal. Am I being fobbed off?

There must be a leak admitting cold, damp air to the interior of the car. Check the under-carpets for damp. It might be a very tiny leak in the bonding of the screen to the body. But if you find damp under the carpets, check the drains to the scuttle vent well because they may be blocked.
