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.
thanks
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.
