I have an '04 Screw as well, my windows do fog up at night, is that what you mean?
Foggy windows when the vehicle is just sitting is normal.
Unless you mean while your driving? If so, i would bet your AC needs a checkup.

Do you have the HVAC set to recirculate? This will also cause the fogging issue.

I have had this happen also to me, although it was when it rained for 3 days straight. I haven't found the cause of this either.

It happened to me last night because it is humid as hell in florida. But i left the defrosters on. Seemed like it let in outside air.

I have a problem with my truck frosting on the interior of the front windshield. I discovered my 3rd brake light is leaking, get a Phillips head screwdriver and remove it check to see if there is any residue on the paint or water inside of the assembly. Also start your truck turn the a/c, heat fan or whatever on full blast and take a glass of soapy water and dump it all around your rear window. If you notice big bubbles forming you likely have a leak on your rear windows, I noticed my slider is leaking horribly. It allows air in which causes fogging and frost.

My rear slider is leaking at the bottom drivers side. Any one know of a fix for this?

It is the slider that is leaking. I dont think it really lets water in but when I sprayed it with soapy water and the fan on high it bubbled.
