My 96 Grand Voyager SE has condensation on the inside windshield every morning and when I start it up it leaks a puddle of water on to carpet from underneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. I left the van sitting for 2 weeks and mold is forming inside. How can I combat this problem because I will be leaving this van for about six weeks & don't want mold to be all over. Please Help! Thx

remove the rug and insulation to let it air out. then you need the leak to be determined and repaired. if it is coolant, it is the heater core. if it is water, then you have an external leak into the passenger compartment.

The first thing you have to do is locate the leak and repair it. then you will have to replace the carpet.

Check for leaking heater core, plugged up condensation drain for the A/C or external rain leaks.
