It may or may not be connected but I notice first a lot of fog so I ran my rear and form defogger on the highest setting and it did not work at all on the front and the rear got just a bit from the top. I do have tint on the rear window. So I thought perhaps my rear defogger lines were damaged and I need to replace the entire window. I also thought my HVAC motor was not working properly and need replacing. The condensation that formed about 4 days ago is still there and there are more streaks of water dropping down my windshield. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi sunnah...,
In addition to the advice that there may be a moisture leak in the cabin, have you checked the
"Front Windshield Seal?"... there have been issues with that in the past(?)! You can start by drying the moisture near the dash and glass with a towel. Then, using a garden hose, spray the entire outside of the windshield"...generously!"
Look for evidence of water droplets on or near the dash area. I would also do the same to the sunroof if the windshield checks out fine! As far as your HVAC System... you can start by getting the engine warmed-up to normal. Turn the front windshield defroster on FULL-FAN w/Temperature on HIGH.
It should feel Hot; NOT luke warm! Also check the air's direction to be sure it's blowing up at the glass on both-sides (D and P), and the fog is dissipating as needed! Next, I would touch the carpet near all of the door sills and check the door drains; you can see them under the doors... use a small Phillips-head screw driver to make sure the holes are Unrestricted!
Best to you Mate! rig Cheers
