During descent water dripping from Captain's side window on EFB causes it to randomly switch to unwanted display modes during critical phases of flight. Condensation from window frame drips on EFB. It is mounted in a very poor location where the lower corner interferes with captains left leg during landing. It covers the rudder height adjustment switch and condensation drips on it during descent.
The ERJ Captain reports that the EFB is installed in a poor location that is subject to water damage among other things.
