Thanks guys.

I suspected the A/C, but really, I haven't used it much lately, and it
has been raining. A lot. I've been driving for 2+ hours per day in
heavy rain for most of a week. That got me thinking I had a cabin leak.

Pulling the dash is so far down my list of fun things to do...

Guess I have some (more) work for me on the weekend.
