    Yes possible the worst job one can do on the above...cleaning the inside of the rear window....had to do it this morning on a friends GTO I look after and its ranks a really difficult job, somehow one has to contort oneself in the cabin over the rear shelf and somehow balance in that position and with one hand wipe the inside of the window...

    Have done it a few times on the GTB and its minutely easier due to the Daytonas being mounted a big higher than the sports seats in the GTO.

    The point being if you want to amuse yourself and have a laught attempt this job because one has to somehow laugh at the sheer impracticality of the design. Oh and if anyone has an easier way to clean the rear window I would love to know!

    Pull the seat all the way forward and lean over, clean one half of the rear window, return seat to original position. Repeat process on the other side...

    The inside of the window can only be smudgy of dust right? I never touch the back window of my car, only the outside when necessary. That can easily be cleaned. Just a Swiffer Duster for the inside when necessary.

    The problem here was mainly due to "misting" due to dust(why drive the windows up in a GTO) and the use of the air con which I find does leave a residue on the windows, had much the same on the windscreen.

    Thanks for the suggestions will try some of those next time!
