Default Condensation inside car

I was the one that paid $800.00 to have my weatherstripping replaced.
If my car sits for a while in rainy or damp weather I get Condensation buld-up on my front and driver's side window. I have a removable targo top on my vette. It does not have any insulation on it ex. header material. Is it suppose to have some kind of insulation on it ?

On a painted top, below the cloth headliner it has what feels like foam of some sort

Default no headliner

My Targo top has no headliner, the top of the targo top inside the car looks like it has a thin film of tint. Should and were can I buy a headliner for my targo top ?

Headliner at ecklers Mid America etc. BEST thing to do is go to Lowes or Home Depot and get the DAMP RID hanging bags and put them on your rear view mirror if you arent going to drive your car.

I don't believe that insulating your top is going to help with your condensation problems. You have to get your leakage problem fixed first. I would worry about putting foam in a humid (your wet car) environment due to foams propensity for growing mold in warm moist environments.
