Guys your reply's are very helpful and underscore my suspicions as to the cause. Since Ive had this car for only 6 months getting to hot hasn't been such a bad problem thus far as I havent put on the new AC yet but that will be added by april as it gets to damn hot here to be in any car with out AC after that date. Thanks for the suggestions.
