yes ours were the same at the start of the week till the van heat up,You could take the little rubber bungs out to let it escape but remember to put them back in as flies will crawl in.

I have a compass van and my windows have some missing bungs and it causes no issue. Think you can blow warm air into them via a hairdryer if it gets condensation but I have not encountered that issue yet myself. Not having bungs there will allow air to escape so eventually condensation would clear anyway I would think.
