Ford discovered that this foggy stuff is the emulsifier from the vinyl in the
car interior.  The vinyl dashboard is the primary source, which explains why
the stuff is only noticeable on the windsheild.

When all of the emulsifier has evaporated it will ofcourse stop condensing
on the windows, unfortunatly, this stuff keeps the vinyl soft. When it's all
gone the vinyl will become brittle.

One of my cars is ten years old and it seems to have more emulsifier on the
glass this year.
