Default Issues Cleaning Rear Window

Really dumb topic but....

I have a 2013 Tradesman Quad Cab, and personally, and when I bring it to car washes, there seems to be a problem cleaning the rear window. There is not enough clearance to get behind it and I end up with a streaky window and some parts arent even clean because I cant reach it. Anyone have a solution?

Climb up in the bed or buy one of those sponges on a telescoping pole.

Sorry, wasn't clear. This is about the interior of the window.

Oh. Sorry. Your statement about bringing it to car washes sounded like you meant the outsid. So you can't reach why the rear window? Something in the way? Not sure I understand.

If the headrests are the problem you can remove them to clean the window, the slide out the top

Agree. If something is in the way, remove it. My Dak had headrests on the back seat that pretty much rested on the rear window. I removed them to clean.

I concur with the head rest removal, also lifting the seat allows the back support to move forward just a bit, may give you a little more room. Headrest removal is a pain but a paperclip in the small hole helps out.

They make window cleaning tools just for this. A simple pad on a stick. Gets down in the corner of the windshield to.
