Rear Windshield Cleaning

gbhrps · 03-08-2020, 07:02 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I did some detailing on the Z today and noticed that there is a film on the inside of the rear windshield. I then opened the passenger door looked back and discovered that cleaning that glass is going to be a chore to say the least.

So how are you doing this job?

Top up, seat backs forward, working around the center wind deflector ... and becoming crippled? Or, top partially opened (5th bow pointed skyward), with your hand sandwiched between the inside glass and the flimsy cloth rear deck cover?

What have you all found that works?

Top halfway up and reach in there while standing outside and reaching through under the fabric.

bunk,

Thanks for the followup! I'll use your suggested method because this old body just doesn't bend like it used to.

A little more detail. With the top halfway up, reach from the the rear on the outside of the top. Just where the 5th bow angles up. Then under the fabric just below the rear windshield.
I hope that make sense!
