How do you think vehicles in humid places last? Lol.

It’s also going to do no more damage than having a hot coffee. People come up with wild things sometimes.

All of the things I described have happened to two cars I've had in the past that each had a trunk leak. Beyond directly problematic sources of moisture, I live where humidity is frequently over 90%. Humidity damage is real.

Do you drink a lot of pops and leave the empty cans in the car?

Moisture doesn’t directly cause any of those issues, you’ve got other crap going on dude.

Also, any time you get into or out of your vehicle, the moisture equalizes with the exterior, it’s also not 100% sealed either. None of what you’ve said is from high moisture. Vehicles literally live on salty coasts and don’t experience those issues after 5 decades. Come on dude lmfao.

Cars do experience these issues on the salty coasts.

What are you on about?

No. Nothing stays in my car beyond the necessary paperwork, some basic tools, an umbrella, and a dry towel.

I've had granules of steering wheel foam rubber crumble off on my hands, same with the shift knob. This only happened when there was water in the trunk, and the heat and humidity made everything feel tacky. If I vacuumed the water out, these problems went away until the next heavy rain brought water into the trunk again. The headliners started falling down during this time as well, despite being relatively newly installed headliners.
