Moisture is just getting inside and has nowhere to go so it sticks to the windshield and freezes. This happened a lot to my parent's Ford Taurus after they hit a deer and broke the driver side mirror off...direct passage for air to come in. Make sure your vehicle is sealed properly.

I have seen before when I get snow from my workboots in the interior of the vehicle, and it evaporates up to the glass. All you need is for moisture to get inside.

This hasn't happened to me yet, but my floormat ices up on occasion. Freaks me the hell out, as my foot will sometimes slide around the brake pad.

i had a 93 honda del sol (or slo...) and it was a targa-top. it leaked water when it rained hard, and if i ran the defrost w/o the ac on, i had condensation issues. the prob was that, obviously, therer was moisture inside the car. HOWEVER, every other car ive owned gets water in the carpet, etc. but wont cause the issue... this leads me to belive that there is moisture in the air coming out of the vents, that doesnt corelate with the carpet water? idk if thats the case or not... in the mean time, vac. your carpets, or even pull them if you have the motivation... idk...

Chances are the owner is running his car long enough to heat up the interior temperature. Moisture in the car evaporates over time into the air, and this warm air can hold more moisture in it. Then, when the car isn't in use, it cools back down, releases the moisture, and the moisture condenses on the windshield.

x2 my cherokee had rusty floors so i just rigged up some sheet metal panels ,rivets, and seam sealer and went to town. once the cold weather came in i had the same problem as u from just a few spots under the dash that i missed. sealed them up and it went away. If it was me id go ahead and pull the carpet where u seem to have your iceing issue at.
