Does anyone know what causes the white haze around windows or windshields? Does anyone know how to get rid of this haze?

I had a car that did that, found out fumes or what ever that bleeds from the fabric ond the dash was causing it. I solved my problem by having it covered.
Hope this helps.

Sam's right.

According to AAA;
"Gas emanating from plastic, especially upholstery, teams up with dust and condensation to form a film that clings to glass with a tenacity that in other circumstances would be considered admirable. Although the problem is declining as materials change, it’s still fairly common. Ammonia-based cleaners and energetic rubbing with lots of lint-free towels will get rid of it temporarily. Preventive measures short of reupholstering your car are inadequate and the film simply ignores them. Since heat makes the stuff collect faster, park in the shade or use a windshield sunshade."
