Angry Condensation INSIDE cockpit

Got out to my car this morning (outside temp ~ 32F) and once the car began to warm up and the fog/ice on the windows started to clear...I noticed condensation on the gauge cluster and information bar glass (plastic). I've never noticed this on any other car. Is this normal...or does this indicated that these are not properly sealed (similar to the head lights/tail lights)?

cockpit isn't really the right term... its more like gauge cluster/instruments...

I was thinking the gauge cluster is located in the cockpit, but thanks for the help.

Maybe you're windshield is leaking? See if there's any moisture between the windshield and the edge of the dash where they meet. The only other places I can think of where you might be getting moisture (1) If the A/C drain hole is clogged (hear any sloshing of water around turns or braking) or (2) if you have a sun roof maybe the drain holes there are clogged, but then you'd probably see moisture around the edges of the header.
