Default Condensation on inside windows

Im seeing this lately as it’s been cold here in Georgia, also it caused the third brake light to disbond from the rear window. Any way to fix this? Plus what’s a good adhesive for the brake light?

Car needs a new head, she’s got a cracked one now. Car is sitting outside on driveway for a month now.

go to any autoparts and buy a Rearview Mirror Adhesive Kit.

This assumes your Third Stop Light has two removable metal "feet" or "brackets" onto which the lamp housing slides. Remove each bracket one at a time and find the markings where it was glued to and then glue it back exactly. Wait a day before putting a load on these brackets.

Don't try to do it in this weather, it will not stick. Condensation is normal in this weather if you leave the car outside.

wait until the temp is over 75 degrees F to fix it. Nothing is sticking in these temperatures, not even in Florida.

Normal for the change in temps we have seen. Get some paper towels and get it off the windows to get the moisture out from the inside.

Double on what Jose said, use the adhesive for rearview mirrors, but not when its cold.

sidescrollin, my first car was a brand new 1969 MG-B Mark II in June 1969. I still have the original school-bus size steering wheel, owner's handbook, and dealer brochure.
