Default Got My Roll Bar In..... Great! Now, How Do I Clean The Rear Window???

I've been tracking my GT3 with the stock seats and 3-pt seat belts. Well, I finally got my seats, harness roll bar and harnesses installed in the GT3. My first track event with the seats and harness is this weekend, and I can't wait to try them out.

But as I was cleaning the car, I noticed I can't reach to the back to clean the inside of the rear window. The roll-harness bar doesn't allow any significant openings to squeeze through, and I'm not even a large guy.

How do you guys do it?

he got really pissed the last time I UPS'd him...on a more helpful note I throw a towel in the back under the window and use hand washer/squeegie like these...I found a washer/squeegie with an adjustable handle at a local hardware store...like this but with an adjustable handle....works great

Griot's garage has an item made for the back window, triangle shape with a handle an extention can be added. Comes with various pads. Works great!

This is a good idea. I was generous to all these kids in the neighborhood during Halloween. It's PayBack Time !!!
