Humidity issue with car in garage.

The 370z sits in the garage a lot but it seems like when I do get in the car the humidity is high. Any tricks to eliminate humidity problems.

I have two dehumidifiers that keep mine to around 40%. Have to dump every day in the summer, once or twice a week in the winter.

If sandersd's suggestion of a dehumidifier(s) isn't workable for you, I'd try putting some desiccant packs in the car. Get the kind that can be recharged in the oven and they can be reused several times. Gun shops will usually carry larger sized packs for use in gun cabinets.

Amazon.com: Lockdown Silica Gel (750 Grams): Sports & Outdoors

Is similar to the one I got a few years ago.

i have a dehumidifier in the garage and a hygrometer.

i dont open the garage on damp days or when temps are more than 10F apart (cold garage + warm humid air = condensation )

i also have wall mounted fan that i turn on each time i open the garage until the temp inside and outside is about the same.
