Unhappy Frozen windows

My '94 ES 300 has moisture inside the doors. When it gets cold here, and it does, the windows are all frozen shut. The motors "try" to move the glass, but no go. So two questions:-

1. How do I dry out the moisture?

and

2. How do I stop it happening again?

Moving to a warm and/or dry location is not an option, and no garage is available.

Thanks in advance.

well since you have no garage youll have to work outside. Take the door panels off and dry it out. I dont know how to stop the condensation try and see if you can see where the water is coming from like looking for water spots.

I kinda guessed it would mean taking the panels off to dry things out.

About the only place(s) water can get in is past the rubber gasket at the sill. Anyone have any suggestions other than replacing the rubber gaskets? silicone spray? a bath in WD40?
