07 Passat windows always fogging up

Has anyone run into this problem? I have a 1 year old 07 Passat 2.0T wagon. During the winter (half the year around here) my windows are always fogged/frosted up. If I go into a store for 10 minutes the windows will be fogged up when I get back. When I park outside, at work or overnight, the windows are covered in frost on the inside. As the car warms up, I sometimes have drops of water melting off the sunroof and landing on my head; water dribbles down the inside of the windows. The dealer said to keep the outside air intake clear (I am) and make sure that the "recirculate air" button is set to outside air (it always is). Nor is there vast quantities of melted snow accumulating in the rubber mats or carpet. I drive around and I'm the only car I can see with this serious a problem. I love this car; it runs great and is fun to drive. But this issue is driving me and my wife crazy. Right now, we would not even consider buying another one. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

I have a 2000 Passat and had the same problem. If you turn on the AC button (so its lit) and turn the temperature knob up near or at max heat it will surprisingly clear up

I had exactly the same problem this year. I'm in Chicago and with the wacky weather we had, I was about to trade it in because of this problem and the moldy smell that never goes away (pollen filter issues - see my other post). The "Auto" button on the passenger side Climate Control dial solved the problem for me. Once you've defrosted your frozen windshield and your on the road switch from defrost to "Auto". I believe this is the Climate Control setting and maintains optimal temperature and humidity. I hope it helps.

When the temp. drops it happened to me in my 2007 VW Passat 2.0T Sedan. The dealer here in Fort Wayne said the same thing. When I kept the vents open at night, it helped I haven't had the problem since.

Hi and thanks for the response. Keep the vents open? Which vents are we talking about?

Thanks

The Recirculated air vents, when I left them open the problem stopped for me.

I have a 2001 Passat and from day on I noticed that the windows fog easily, and I can't get rid of it. It's almost like there is some kind of film on the inside of the glass that won't clean off

You may have a blown heater core. how's you coolant level?
and doe's the inside of the car smell kinda smelly sweet oder inside when car is runnig?
