Normally there's no space in the garage, so its lucky to be inside!
The climate control setting has always been set to auto on this particular car (not recirculate or let fresh air in). I don't think that has anything to do with your window being iced up on the inside. Its likely that your windscreen has slight gaps around it, which lets water in and then it froze up because it was so cold. I advise getting that checked because its only a matter of time before the windscreen starts letting more water in, which then soaks your dash/electrics.

Got mine removed and resealed by a local specialist about 3 months ago - you may have seen my earlier post. Had I not been in a bit of a spot I might have pursued the issue with my local dealer, but I needed the car for a week away and the dealer couldn't even look at it for a couple of weeks let alone offer a fix.
If a windscreen has been leaking for quite some time I wonder if all the condensation inside could be due to the leak trickling down to the carpets? Might be worth checking.
