You say "windows" so I assume it isn't just the windshield... that suggests it isn't a HVAC issue.

Did you or the guy you got it from use a detailing fluid or spray on the vinyl? Some commercial products (and baby oil) will fog the windows for days after application if they are used too enthusiastically.
It is all windows. It's possible someone before used a dressing of some kind of the interior, but there's no residue on the vinyl. I haven't gone through the interior myself yet.

Satin clear on top of the flat black dip. It's cheap, easy, durable, and makes a huge difference. Plus I can peel it off if I should ever decide to.

Possibly. When mine was an automatic it usually got 25-28 in mostly highway use and I just touched 30 once.



I had that issue on my Lincoln. It turned out to be a bad heater core leaking a fine mist of coolant into the cabin.
I did a Star Tron treatment in the last tank. I think I'll do another in the next tank.

I hadn't considered the heater core, but that's not bad thinking. Is there a way to diagnose? Honestly, it's not a big enough concern to warrant pulling the dash if it is the heater core.
