Default Question for 918 LWB + clubsport owners...

How do you clean the 3 rear windows?!

1) you have very long arms
2) your 4 yo son does it for 10$
3) pressure washer
4) never cleaned them
5) others...

Same problem in my RS with roll bar and LWB. My solution is to never clean it.

Which is the lowest LWB?
Fixed "918" as it seems to me or folding "Gt2"?
I tried both in the same day but on different cars (GT4 and GT3) so not 100% sure.

If the seat's height was the same (918 setted as low as possible) I would choose the folding bucket, clean the rear glasses and use that rear space for some soft bags...

4) Never. GMG made a point of cleaning the windows thoroughly before installing the roll bar over 2 years ago. It hasn't been cleaned since, but it isn't very dirty. I'm afraid any attempt to clean it will only make a mess. So I've left it alone.

i just bought a telescopic cleaning pole and attached a microfiber head on it (kinda like a swiffer on steriods). Spray some invisible glass on it, then use it to reach the back.

LOL, I knew mooty would have a picture like that when I read the title of the thread!

BTW, I do not have CS, but have 918 LWB's and my windows have never been cleaned! It was hard enough for me to get the PASM module out and switched to DSC V2....no way I could get to that window...
