He just asked how to make it easier, not how to clean it. I just take my windows out once a month cuz it's easier than trying to crawl up in the back seat and get everything.

It's impossible to get the rear window clean given it's angle, so I remove the thing completely from the car and clean it that way. I detail cars and I am very meticulous about my own. Something is cleaned on it everyday.

I wouldn't call pulling a window out of a car easier, especially for the average person. I give you much credit for doing it though, that's some patience.

I am a technical person. The orignial post asked if we knew how to make "cleaning the inside of the window easier". While pulling the windows out may not be "easy", cleaning the inside of the window is "easier" when it is out.

my question was there anything i can use to clean the inside windshield more easily. especially near the lower edge by the brake tag. hard to reach to clean effectively. the inside door windows are easy to clean. just not the inside windshield.

On the tough to reach corner parts I like to wrap a microfiber glass cleaning towel around a flat head screw driver.

RPMiracle-You actually break the bead, carefully pry it out, scrape the window of its glue, clean it, and then re-bead and re-glue the window?

You sir, must have too much time on your hands
