That gap behind the rear passenger glass on a 3dr

[VC]

How does everyone clean inside there? Ive got various brushes but nothings really effective and although i can get the car nice and shiny thats the one area i cant get at properly, the bit at the top behind the edge of the glass 

a bit of a design fault, shame they dont pop out like alot of hatchback windows do... it's getting a bit green

Two options

1 - Jet wash it

2 - buy a 5 door

Simples!

ive got a karcher but it doesnt really shift it and i dont want to go in point blank as its pretty viscous 


...buy a 5 door?

[scotta]

....ouch.

have your tried something like tar and glue remover or Tardis (same thing)?

Got a pic of the offending area?

[JPC]

yeh, get a pic up and ill see what i think!

in point blank as its pretty viscous 

you got the 'syrup' karcher special edition then?


[SLAP]


on a serious note sounds like a job for some fexible detailing swabs 

[VC]

i'll grab a pic, my descriptive skills arent the best 

[Moschops]

VC use some cotton buds or a small pencil with a cloth round it...

[VC]

cotton buds not a bad idea, but that wont bend around corners though to get right in there...

here's some shots..



closer:



am i the only one that suffers from this then? 

[B3n]

Get a Mf cloth fold it in half push the folded bit into the gap then wipe along thats what ive just done to mine.

Could even use a megs slide lock brush? Ill go have a look at mine

I'm sure that gap if far bigger than on my car?  Will double check later but i think there is rubber around the rear windows on earlier gti's?  Either that or i just cant see anything with black paint

definitely gunna give this a go cheers dude 

assuming though that youre not getting alot of downward pressure though? the grime behind there is very stubborn, not sure if just a wipe is going to shift it

[B3n]

If you push enough cloth in there there shouls be enough pressure just give the area a soak with some all purpose cleaner first That should lossen up the crud first.

[VC]

when you say all purpose cleaner......
