Default why do get frost inside

the vette on my 86's windshield? My AC doesn't work, but does it have to dehumidify the air? If I run the heater I really don't have too much of a problem, but if I run the defroster for any significant amount of time then after the car has sat for a couple of hours in freezing weather I'll have frost on the windshield. :mad

You're not wrong. It's just a small leak, so far. Let it go for a while, you'll smell it. If that doesn't convince you, maybe later still, the green pond in the right side footwell, will. When you finally give in, do a search. There are litterly dozens of posts on the subject. Good luck, an...
