Default Windscreen fogging at night

My wife owns a 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback, in the last 12 months, it has started fogging on the windscreen really bad, no water leaks, no damp spots, no musty smell or sweet smells from the air con. Now the car can be sitting for days, no driving and it still does it, have been to several places to ask questions but no one can give me an answer to why this is happening, seems to start at the bottom left and right of the screen??? but there is nothing there that I can find to cause this??? getting really frustrated with this problem ☹☹

Any ideas of what could be causing this???
Thanks

Check to see if the A/C drain pipe is not blocked

Yeah, we had that checked at the last service and was not blocked.

Well, we have found the source of the problem �� it turned out to be the roof rails on both sides were the issue. All the body sealer they used when the car was built was all but gone and letting water in as was evident by the water stain on the roof lining at the back of the car. A lot of water was in the wheel well and after cleaning it out, took the car to a panel beater and he filled in where the problem was. So after removing the strips, the old sealer that was left just fell out, so removed it all, bought the right body sealer, sealed it all up, and now no more problems, hope this helps anybody else with the same issue. Happy Days, wife very happy now ��
