Smells problem
1999 Lexus RX 300 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive 120000 miles

My daughter, at college, is having an issue....she says when she gets into the car, there is condensation on the windows INSIDE.....it also smells musty....she seems to think the a/c and heater are in working condition. She also doesn't drive long enough to see if it builds up after a while...she just wipes it down prior to her short drives, however.....longer road trips are coming up....I don't want her to all of a sudden not be able to see. Any ideas of what to look at? I don't want her taking it into a service not knowing what to ask. FYI....she is at school in Northern Florida....no extreme temperatures....lows of 40's...highs in the 70's this time of year. Thank you so much.
