Extended use of a defroster (like forgetting to shut it off once airborn) will cause crazing of the canopy where the hot air hits it. I mop the inside of the canopy with a paper towel until takeoff. Once airborn, the condensation stops. While NM isn't known for being particularly cold, high in the mountains where I live it's as cold as the midwest where I grew up (Iowa). I didn't install a heat exchanger in my KR until the third winter I had it. Sunshine on the canopy was sufficient to keep me warm. When I was flying away from the sun, it got cold in a hurry, which is why I eventually added the heat exchanger. Kind of hard to always avoid flying away from thge sun. :o) Jeff Scott N1213W
