Default Cleaning inside of rear window

How can one do this? I have the plastic window and it's dirty as hell on the inside, probably from being down all of the time. I tried to reach it last time I did a detail, but it's extremely hard to get to. Any suggestions?

it is hard to get to...

plexus is the product, twisting is the name of the game!

put the top up all the way, move the seats all the way forward (or remove them if you are wacko enough) then go for as much as you can get.
then start to put the top down (very slightly) so that you can get back there- the window is harder to work then cause its not tight, but easier to get to.
its a kinda play with various choices until you get something that works for you...
eventually you will get it-

I use one of these for my glass rear window . . .

I don't see why you couldn't use it with the MF bonnet on a plastic rear window. It really eliminates a lot of the contorting you have to do to reach the window. Works really well to reach the lower part of the windshield too!

That tool I posted is intended for use on glass, but I see no reason why it wouldn't work equally well with a plastic window. You would just use Plexus with it instead of glass cleaner.
