Mine was rather interesting.  When I got the car last year it was perfectly
clear, pretty good considering its a 79.  I assume this was because the
PO never took the hardtop off.  But once I started using it, it fogged up
in just a couple of months. Of course, my solution is to put the top up
as little as possible and when I have to, except int he worst of storms,
I unzip the rear window anyway.

Which brings up the big question.  The window already zips 3/4 of the way
around, why didn't they make it go all the way so you could just zip in a
new one.  (Any top manufacturers out there listening??)
