    Does anyone have a suggestion for fixing moisture that accumulates between the laminated pane window between drivers cockpit and engine compartment. Mine shows moisture when the engine heats up. When the engine is cool the moisture disappears.

    Are you sure it’s between the glass? If my AC vent is blowing directly on the back window I will sometimes see condensation on the window but not inside it.

    That happened to mine too. Seal has failed, as far as I know you will need to replace the glass. There is really no way to clean water spots between the panes. I had mine replaced.

    Same happened to me. Looked liked bubbles between the glass. I had mine replaced. Not hard but the problem is getting the glass and especially the gasket/seal thats around the glass. I don't think its available any more

    The seal was available at ferrparts.com as of a couple of months ago. Glass is available there or direct thru Ferrari.

    I think eurospares has them. A friend had his rear blow out from a rock coming in and parts were available. This was a couple of months ago.

    Thanks for all the feedback. The moisture is definitely in between the two layers of glass. I tried to wipe it off and no luck. You can find new rear windows from OEM for $1500 or out of salvage cars for $500. But that seems like a lot to fix an intermittent problem.

    Well if you have bubbles between the glass then that's not going away. If I'm correct it's a 3 pane window glass and and it bubbles up and between. I really don't think it's moisture I think it's the plastic between the glass separating. That's what it appeared to be to me but maybe someone else might know but with that said you gotta replace the glass and and the seal. If one is very careful you can save the seal and reuse it

    No one has this seal in stock. I have been looking for two years. We need enough people to request Ferrari for this part to make a new run or see if a 3rd party can recreate it.

    Nobody is going to have that in stock.
    Just order it through Eurospares. 10 days to get it from ferrari and then express ship it. By the time you finish looking for the part in stock somewhere ....you would have already have.

    I tried that already, here was their response...

    Part 63354600 is no longer available now. But I can still order part 69734700 at £544.71
