I read on the forum that you can 1st clean the window with pure vinegar 2nd dry any excess off with a lint free towel or terry cloth and 3rd was window with an amonia -free glass cleaner.

Just make sure you talk to the guy before he starts.

I planned to take out my rear deck/brake light. So I shouldn't have any problems.

If you clean your window with news paper instead if paper towels it will help with the streaks.

Take the design of a mouse sander, and make a template, then cover the template with paper towel. add a stick, or something with a handle, and then clean the window with easy.

people should keep in mind that IF you windows are tinted, you no longer need glass cleaner...because you're not cleaning glass...you just need some very mild soap to clean the tint...that goes for rear window and sides if you got those tinted as well.

If you dont have tint and also on the front windshield just use a plastic cooking spatula overlayed with a cotton cloth...works wonders and it has great reach...

Lastly, the more often you keep your windows (and your car for that matter) clean, the less effort is needed on your part...

hope that helps someone.

that's some good info for the rear window. I fight with the film on the rear windows too. I have found that the invisible glass spray plus newspapers give you a good streakfree clean.
