Condensation happens when the temperature of the surface is below the dew point.

The two ways to get rid of it are to warm the surface, or to reduce the humidity of the air.

If the condensation is on the outside of the window, you need to heat the window up.

If the condensation is on the inside, you can turn the heat on to warm the window and let the air hold more moisture, the air conditioner on to pull moisture out of the air, or both(some cars do this when you select “defrost”).
