    Nice explanation. So if you're running your defroster with the AC on and the vents are open (recirc off) and you STILL have moisture building up... could it be just out of freon or would that be something more serious like a bad condensor?

    i dont think you could pinpoint the problem that quickly... it could be that theres lots of moisture in the air so its taking longer to evaporate.. could be that the condenser just doesnt work anymore.. but more than likely its just due to lack of refrigerant (do vx's use freon or r-134a?) , esp in VXs that are bumpy, its likely that the system would need to be refilled every couple years
