Moisture accumulation / a/c blower rust

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

My problem is that the moisture is outside of the car. Florida is usually
humid enough that when the cold air of the a/c chills the window down, then
it drops below the dew point and viola! No visibility through the window.
With the broken air vent on the passenger door, cold air blows inside the
door and causes dew to settle all over the door (well, more than usual.)
After an evening drive, I parked in my garage and noticed water dripping off
of the door handle. And it was perfectly dry outside! (My passenger door
has the replacement aluminum handle.)

I bought Rain-X a long time ago and just never got around to putting it on.
Since my windows are tinted, I don't think I'm supposed to put Rain-X on it.
But the moisture problem is on the OUTSIDE of the car.

Now I do have another moisture problem inside the car. The a/c blower motor
fills up with condensation and rusts the bearings up. The condensate drain
seems to be working fine. My problem is moisture accumulating on the
outside of the a/c system, the fiberglass/plastic housing and the duct work.

Is there any way to keep water out of the a/c blower motor? And is there
any way to keep water from dripping off of the duct work and into the
passenger foot well?

And why to you tell me about Rain-X, yet you neglect to answer my e-mail
about the used/reconditioned head light switch you had PJ Grady send me?
They told me that it was supposed to be a new switch, but it is obviously
used. Last time I called them, they had no record that they ever sent me a
headlight switch. Oh well, no night driving for me for a while....
