    Hello everyone,

    When I woke up this morning and turned on my car, I noticed that the right half of my rear window was fogged up. After 10-20 seconds all was normal. I'm worried that there might be a leaking pipe or a exhaust leak. Do you think I should take it to a Ferrari garage for inspection, or is this something normal?

    best regards

    In one word NO.

    Mate a cold engine when started will slowly get hot. With that any water that is on the engine will quickly expand and turn into steam. That is the fog on your window. As it continues to turn the fog as you have pointed out will disappear,

    IMO you either had washed it or driven in wet weather just before you parked her.

    Thats why I run my engine with the lid open after I was my car and never drive my 488GTB in the rain :)
