Recently, it got cold here in Southern Ohio , and I started having a problem with my car. Frost, sometimes a thin layer of solid ice freezes on the driver's side front and rear windows, the winshield, and sometimes even the rear window. It also freezes the driver's door shut. That's not the problem though, the problem is that ice is freezing on the inside of the car. I also started getting massive amounts of condensation inside my car on warmer days. I'm talking about every square inch of glass on the driver's side of the car is covered with water. I run the defroster, even if no ice is present, to keep the interior moisture free. It doesn't work. I tried running the defroster, and then turning the climate control off when the car was parked. I tried not running the defroster, and several other things, including no ventalation period. All of them were to no avail.
Now the strange thing is, about a month ago, my weather stripping over the driver's and rear driver's side doors started to peel. Three four inch long strips an eighth of an inch wide tore off my weatherstripping. The tears are located at the bottom of the weatherstripping on the roof, close to the inside door frame. However, no leaks are present even in the heaviest rains, and no noticible wind noise increase either. My car is a 1999 SE with the Sport Package, 2.5L Duratec and the CD4E. Currently the odometer reads under 26,000 miles.
I'm just wondering if the tears in the weather stripping are causing my problem, or if it's something else.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appriciated.
