I’d get some hanging desiccant packets (not the scented ones. That’s a lot of moisture.

Is that moisture on the inside? If so, that can't be good long term. I've never seen that on my Cab. Wondering if it's humidity. I live in a fairly humid environment. It's not Florida humid but it gets to 80% regularly.

It is about as humid as it can be where I live and that dos not occur in any of my cars...unless there is significant moisture (more like a leak) in the car. I had a Ford Flex that had developed a leak in the moonroof due to a clogged inner drain line and it would have condensate like that on the inside of the car when I would enter the vehicle particularly in warmer weather. You would never know there was a leak but when I took it in for service and commented to my advisor, they ended up finding water under the carpets. In my opinion (and if that is on the inside) I would have the car checked.
As for that oily film that can accumulate on the inside of the window, I follow this approach form YouTube university: put about a gallon of warm water in a buckeet and ten add about half a dime drop of dawn to it. Dip a microfiber rag and wipe the window thoroughly. Use a squeegee to remove water and wipe any remaining water with a very clean/dry microfiber cloth. Very effective.

This is seriously the best glass cleaner I have ever used and I have literally tried them all. I had to import my first two bottles from Canada.

Not sure how much or long you park outside in the sun, but I'd definitely get one of those windshield sun blocks. The outgassing eventually slows down but when parked in the sun you will always have it.

my car is usually parked in the garage unless i drive it to work and when i do park it outside i use the sun screen. interesting never had this issue with any other car. wonder if the windshield on the T is thinner? i've heard of issues with the GT3

Agree. I like the Invisible Glass product to deal with this annoying windshield film: https://a.co/d/fEeN3LB
Good stuff and it has been my go to for many years, but it does not hold a candle to Bilt Hamber Trace-Less.
