The best way to solve your problem:

1. Clean your windows with a mild detergent or solvent depending on if you have tinted windows.
2. Rewipe the windows with a microfiber cloth until there is very little/ no residue.
3. when the windows start to fog, just crack your front windows enough to equal out the temperature difference.

That's all.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Alright, I'll try and do another mild-wash and re-clean with invisible glass, and see if while I'm rolling the windows up if I can't get the seal to stay flat, not sure that that's even really a problem.
Also, my back windows (power windows) roll up real slow and it sounds like they're workin way too hard. Guessing the motor's bad.

Anyone have any other anti-fogs they use that are promising?

There may be an easy fix. Spray some silicone lubricant into the rubber side channel tracks where the windows slide. Roll the windows up and down several times, and I suspect that they will work better.

Are the channel tracks just the side-frames of the windows or are they inside the door?

Both. Have a look at this thread:

I see. If you did that on paint, you are quite the paint-handyman. I could never draw such precise arrows and lines myself. Thanks, really appreciate it

Glad to be of help. Actually, the red lines were created using tools available at Photobucket, where my diagrams are uploaded.
