Wow. Talk about contortionist. Passenger seat back, driver seat up, squeeze through a hole between cross braces, try not to scrape your back on a camera mount, "roll" into back compartment. Then clean the window GOOD. I'm not going back in for a while! Ha!

I feel your pain. I just removed tear tint with rear roll bar in place. Not fun. Had to remove one seat and lay flat on my back under the harness bars. Took two hours! (And I'm 6'4")

I've found on wand with a microfiber towel at its end works well around a rollbar. My 65 yr old back is not as flexible as it used to be.

Never try to clean back window with witnesses present. They tend to laugh. A lot.

Brilliant! That plus my long arms is perfect.

I thought everyone just removed the seats and rollbar annually...

I got my cleaner stick on amazon.. Search for reach and clean tool, I think Invisible Glass made the one I use. I think brick and mortar auto parts stores have them as well.

Yeah, no chance I can fit back there with the euro seats so my daughter did it, and better than I would have. Car girl.
