More humidity in the air? It's just the A/C, I wouldn't worry about it if everything is working okay.

Mine sweats like a whore in church because of our humidity here in GA. As long as it's water, you're good.

You should see the puddle mine leaves down here in Miami with our soupy air. I don't use my AC that much though, as I embrace the heat so I'm not dying while walking around outside during the summer.

Have you been running your defroster? That also runs the A/C to dry the air.

bingo! i think the defroster is the reason why. i never even thought about that. and yes, i was driving around this this weekend right underneath the golden gate bridge with the defroster on as i was making my way to my favorite pier to go fishing and crabbing off of.

thanks rob, once again the EF is the shizznit.
