Default Cleaning the inside of the back window

So has anyone else gotten contorted into a small ball while trying to clean the inside of the back window? I'm 6' 3" and I had a hell of a time getting back there. I did a terrible job cleaning it. The front isn't too bad, but the rear window is damn near impossible! I see why some people have had inconsistent results from window tinting. I need my own personal midget to get up in there to clean it!

Default Fold the back seats down and sit on them facing the rear window with your legs in the trunk.

Don't laugh, it works and you don't have to be a contortionist to clean back there. :&gt

Default LOL! great idea, BUT! if you fold down the middle section of the rear seats, you'll end up leaving a

really bad indentation on the armrest from the seatbelt latch, esp if you sit on it too. this is another design flaw of the A4..others include the handbrake, chrome trim misaligned on 3.0s, center consol blocking right knee, hp...

What do you mean by "inconsistent results" with tinting? What have you heard?

Put a small pillow or towel over the seatbelt latch when it's down, if you're that concerned

Default close windows and leave car in sunlight or turn heat on high. The heat will loosen plastic and

seat will return to normal. no biggie

Also don't kneel on rear heated seats or you may break the heating grid!
