Default Cleaning rear window.

Anyone clean their rear windows in GT3's with LWB's? I just tried to get back there to clean the rear window, and, nope... not happening, lol. Any thoughts/ideas appreciated!

I can just barely wriggle back there to clean the window, and my girlfriend slips back there easily but she’s both smaller and more flexible than me.

If you can’t fit back there nor can find someone who can get back there… pulling a seat is a lot easier than you think. Not many bolts, and the seat is very light. Just be careful to disconnect any electrical plugs to the seat.

Bribe small kids with candy.

I use one of these:

But instead of the swiffer pads I use a thick MF towel, held into place with the little press fit things that are on the mop head. Spray cleaner on the towel. The handle can disassemble to shorten it. Works great. And cheap.

Real easy remove the seat bolts and push the seat forward to gain access. No need to disconnect wires. You will need a etorx socket can't remember the number.

Just buy a Swiffer floor Sweeper then spray windex on a micro yellow fiber rag and attach it to the sweeper then go to town and wipe down the rear window. No need to climb back there.

Good idea about the swiffer, but avoid anything with ammonia as it will destroy window tint. Some Windex has ammonia, some doesn't.
