Ok... How the **** do you clean your windows in your coupe?
I've had a hard time since day one.. The angle and the room you have to work with in the rear sucks.
Whats your technique? And you can't even begin to reach around the brake light! So the window has to be left alittle dirty.

Rep Power: 0 yeah I hate that rear window especially around the brake light. I can never get it clean and its always visible from certain angles. As far as the rear window goes...I just spray stoners invisble glass and wipe it off the best I can...somehow I still get streaks

The back window is some how fine with me. What i have trouble with is cleaning the front windshield. Steering wheel and rear view mirror get in the way. The angle makes it impossible.
too bad we couldnt unscrew something and move the windshield.
i mean i put a paper towel over my rear speakers, then i put back rest down so i can have more room to work with, without the head resst. then i go up and down and then left and right. lol. i do it like 3 times and that **** still comes out streaky in a day or 2. i feel like i dont clean the dam thing.

there is a "as seen on tv" product that works well for corners of windows. its like a diamond shaped...uhmm..well i dunno my dad has it in his garage and it looks like you could just spray some stuff on it and clean 'em like that. its called like the window wizzard i wanna say..but i could be just making that up in my head lol. im sure if you searched for as seen on tv products you'd find it

Rep Power: 0 Alright, here is what I have learned from cleaning in the navy. Find the skinniest anything you can find, real thin. Then get some paper towel or something along those lines and tape it to the end. Then you have a lovely reaching tool. Helps out wonderfully
, yea and u just stick ur hand in and start wiping 
ever since I bought my car in November, I keep getting this film on my windows. It usually appears a couple days after I clean them - and I can NEVER get it off the rear windsheild. Has anyone else ever gotten this too? Maybe it's becauase the car is still relatively new??
i just tried Stoner's Invisible Glass cleaner nd so far im diggin it. doesnt make u go over it a million times cause u see like white resedue being left over but u still do need to go over it to get it dry. works fine with me its just gettin to that damn rear window where it hits the speaker panel area

I just use generic windex, and they stay pretty clean. I clean my car weekly which includes, in the least, wash, wax, detail interior (not always carpets though). I dont have much of a prob with that part of the window. I just shove something skinny with a towel of some sort over it down in there.

did they remove your rear deck to tint your windows? I think I would remove mine so I can get my windows tinted the right way. Also, where did you go? did they do a good job? Places around here charge quite a bit... like over $200. Reading isn't too far.
I asked my tint guy about that before he did the back and he said all he has to do is slide the tint between the window and brake light first and then lay the rest of the tint going upwards instead of down. He had a really skinny long squegee that fit in between that he pushed all of the air bubbles out with. Looks way better that having the cut out around the brake light. Just make sure you talk to the guy before he starts.
