HOW the HECK do you clean that?!?

The rear window in behind the 3rd brake light???

I have a cleaning tool, a handle with a hinged thin plastic plate with a pad, glass cleaning bonnets go on it.

It. Won't. Reach.

I had some condensation there over the winter, and now about a dozen dirty spots are visible right there, and I can't clean them off

THEN there is the area around the 3rd brake light itself. There's dust, etc there...HOW the HECK...

Tint the back window with 5% and forget about it.

What the MONKEY!! My video isn't on youtube anymore.... :(

But yeah, I use a silcone spatula and I would put a thing "glass" only microfiber around it, spray glass cleaner on the microfiber and gently slip it between the glass and the brake light, works like a charm!!!!

Also, it won't clean the dust from around the light itself....
