Default How to Access inside of plastic window?

hey guys,
I have buffed the outside of my plastic rear window with PlastX and a black pad with no results. I know the fog is from the inside. How do i get the buffer in there?

it just takes a lot of contortionism!!

remove the seats is one thing you can do to make it easier... at least move them all the way up.
no matter what its a pia... just take your time and you will get it

Plastx works. You just need to put some elbow grease into it. I used an applicator pad instead of the black pad. It's like 50% clearer after i used it.

plastx is good stuff- just hard to get to that window

Take the seats out for sure. I know it might be a lot of work to take them out, but its definitly worth it. I was struggling putting the rear tray back (which it about the same area you're trying to get to), but once I took the seats out, the extra space made it MUCH easier.

guys, taking the seats out doesnt make adifference, the probelm rests with the factory roll bar, i do not see how removing seats helps at all.
What is key is removing the center backpeice and wind deflector, any ideas how to remove this trim peice?

the wind deflector has a cap on each end that covers a phillips screw. gently pry the cover open, take the screws out and be sure to get the nuts that are underneath in the secret compartment. its pretty easy to figure out .

With the seats removed, it'd be easier to access the rear tray. with the seat there, all you could do is kneel on it, and stick your arms through the center. Not only is there less space, you'll also stretch the leather on you seats. With the seats out, you could kneel or squat at where the seats were, or you could like semi-stand if you're short, which would make is easier to use your arm power. and also with the seats removed, you can have more angles going into the rear, so you could move left and right easier. But I mean if you think the removing the seats wont help, then leave them. but im just saying that it helped me.

removing the seats take less than 5 minutes, I do it to vac the floor properly and it definately makes accessing the rear section easier.

Removing the windblocker would help too as someone already suggested.
