I am guessing it is just high humidity. I wouldn't sweat it.

Most cars will get condensation on the inside of some windows at certain times of the year. Having a plastic window doesn't change how this happens.

This may depend on the direction the car was parked, which direction the wind was blowing and which direction was the sunrise and the car's proximity to buildings and how it faces those buildings. This determines how the vents face and how the interior air circulation works when the car is parked. It also determines how the car warms up as the temp rises in the early morning creating a specific pattern of temperature gradients on the inside. Next time, park it backwards to the way you had it and see if the condensation appears on the front window.

What I'm trying to get at is this is a natural phenomenon and nothing to be concerned about.
