Spilled bottle of water in my car last week now condensation dripping from all the fucking windows every damn day. How can I get the water out of my car. Cannot roll the windows down and leave it in the sun its British winter time.

Maybe you can get a dehumidifier and run that in the closed car for a while
Or maybe get a sack of rice and pour it in a bucket and leave it overnight since I hear that rice can absorb moisture

Get car in garage OR cover with tarp. Windows open a bit with a electric fan or fans inside car blowing the air out of car and a small very small electric heat source. Could be just a Light bulb the old fashioned kind 70 watts might do it.
I suspect you dropped some Crumpets crumbs now n then. If you find real Musrooms? Please do not eat such. Send to squeegee for analysis.

Anonymous A, you can buy a crystal dehumidifier and place it in the car. This will absorb more than its own weight in water and remove the condensation from your car. Very cheap too.

they make a product called damp rid. Look for it in hardware stores, you basically just open the container, and leave it in the damp area.

This. You should use desiccants to try to remove as much of the moisture as possible. Charcoal is an excellent desiccant. Crush up charcoal and place open containers of the crushed up charcoal under the seats of your car. They will help absorb odors as well.

Most cars already have a dehumidifier- the air conditioning. Which brings me to my next point. Run the heater in your car until all the moisture has evaporated, then open the doors and let the car air out. That will eliminate a lot of it, then do the opposite and run the AC for a while to further dehumidify the car. The charcoal will do the rest.
