   Mine fog if the closed-cell foam around them has worn, especially in   
   the bathroom where the frame comes out frequently to vent after a   
   shower. On other windows taping the frame to the window trim stops   
   fogging, but marks up the trim a little.   
      
   I made a similar frame with bird-proof acrylic sheet glazing to fit   
   around and seal the air conditioner. It has doors on either side of   
   the A/C so I don't have to align the frame, window and heavy A/C all   
   at once. I place the A/C in the window, unlatch the doors and install   
   the frame, close one door and push the A/C against it, then close the   
   other one. One side could have been part of the solid frame but two   
   identical doors aren't much more carpentry work than one.
