You have a LEAK somewhere inside the car. Remove the carpets, and find the WET carpet underlayment!!
Check the drivers & Passengers carpet under the seat AND the trunk carpet and trunk stowage wells for water / moisture.
When you find the wet carperts, REMOVE THEM!! That way, you can see excatly where the water is entering the car. If you dont remove and dry the carpets, they will MOLD and Mildue and STINK! Trust me! Been there ,, ,DONE THAT!
When ever you can,, leave the windows down so the moisture that has already eveaprated and condensated can leave the car.
