Anyone else have this issue? Thnx!

Moisture is in the hvac system, and the excess drains out. Make sure the drain line is clear, but you will stil have some moisture there even with a good drain.
What i do every season is spray a can of lysol in the fresh air intake under the hood, and run the car through all the settings except recirculate. The lysol smell dispates qucikly, but with an SVX i would do it with the doors open.
This is the tried and true method of over 30 years, and much cheaper then any autoparts store cleaner.
