Does your windshield get moisture when...
A/C on and the windshield gets moisture/condensation...have to use the wipers to clear it off....even when it's 90 degress outside....
A/C shop tells me the cure is to remove the entire dash, etc. and reseal the vents, etc with new caulking, foam, etc....very expensive...anyone else have this problem...cause? cure?

I think the more likely explanation would be the vacuum element(s) that control the defroster flap is bad. Thus the flap doesn't seal completely if at all allowing cold air to be directed to the windshield causing the condensation.

When the A/C is blowing directly at mid level and feet...the windshield still get's moisture. So something is not working! And the car is 18 years old...seals are worn out I am sure. I just thought there was a way to correct the situation without the high cost involved in removing the entire dash! I am told...the jpb will take a good 12 hours and maybe even 16. This is from 2 A/C shops who have done this before on MB's.
