  2. Do you run the AC and set the temp to HOT? ...I used to have good luck with
    the AC.

    Make sure recirc=OFF. This is in your owners manual.

    Under some conditions, a leaking heater core could be
    putting a lot of moisture into the air inside the car.

    Make sure that the inside of the glass is clean. Any dust or other schmutz
    on the glass gives moisture a better place to condense and create fogging.
    Use a good glass cleaner and a squeegee.

    On my '01 lw300 at least, the defogger position will automatically turn on
    the A/C (regardless of the setting of the a/c button). Problem is at low
    temperatures, the a/c will not dehumidify. So, in very humid weather near
    freezing, the only recourse is to leave the window open a crack and crank
    the heat in defrost mode.

    Make sure that the recirculate control is off. It may be more energy
    efficient to recirculate the air but if the a/c can't dehumidify it, the
    problem only gets worse.
