Hey, it didn't show up...

Thread:

Does anyone know how to clean between the rear window and the rear brake light? It's in the bottom center of the rear window. My hand doesn't fit in between the glass and plastic, so I can never clean that area.

Would I have to go to a auto detailing shop just to get that spot clean?

No one cleans their windows?

There is really no easy way to clean this area. The best way is to remove the rear deck and clean the window. Otherwise try using a ruler or something similar to push a cloth into the area to clean.

Is it a real challenge to remove the rear deck?

Just unscrew?

Anyone have the removal directions for the rear deck lid?

get some old socks
windex
and a ruler

spray windex on the sock and floss between the light and window.
if that does work insert the ruler into the sock and clean it that way.

Removing the deck is in the DIY:

I haven't gotten around to cleaning in between the rear windshield and brake light yet. I noticed that crap has been building up from everytime I spray my window cleaner back there. A little bit of spray ends up in between the light and window, and after the years, I've got quite a build up.
I was going to remove the rear deck when I meant to buy some new 6x9's, but priorities changed, and I got sway bars and coil-overs instead.

PunkingCivic, the ruler worked fine.

albs, thanks for the link.

Thanks, it's all clean now.

I just changed my OEM rear speakers man, that was a pain!!! in order for you to take the rear deck lid you have to take the whole backseat off, plastic on both rear corners, both plastic walls, before you can actually get the rear deck lid off... 1hour if you done it before, 2+ if you have no idea how to take em off, it took me 2 1/2 the first time I took em off....

here's how:
-take the backseat off, refer to DIY
-take the upper rear corner plastics off (on the roof)
-unbolt the driver and passenger seatbelt metal bars
-yank out the walls (screw on the handle covered by a small plastic cover)
-take off read rear deck lid (unhook the brake light wire)
