Default Coolant Smell in Vent

Has anyone ever smelled antifreeze coming out of their a/c-heater vents?

I seem to be having that problem. . .and it seems to be causing a horrible film on my windows.

Recently they had to replace the theromstat. . .could that be related? Also, I had the pollen filter recently replace.

Anyone have any idea as to the source of the problem?

Probably a leak in your heater core.
