CLEANING GLASS BEHIND CENTER BRAKE LIGHT?

Have a 2009 and the inside rear glass is getting foggy right behind the rear center brake light housing. The housing is right up against the glass so I can't find a way to get in there and wipe it down. Has anyone found a true solution to gaining access to this small area. I keep my car showroom and this is driving me crazy. Many "THANKS!" for any assistance or suggestions you might provide.

I have the same issue. Its driving me crazy as well. I hope someone replies with an answer. My rear package tray also looks like its turning sort of purple. Could it be fading from the sun already ?

Mine was a mess too. There was alot of glue still left from where the dealer removed the tint. I ended up removing the back shelf so that the tint shop could get the tint all the way down with out cutting a hole for the 3rd brake light. No easy way that I could find.

Google "Bulldozer" You can purchase this tool @ your local tint shop. This is what I use but applied velcro with soft scrubbing pad at the end.

Thanks Iceworks! Going to the Tinting sites opened up a whole new world of cool stuff for detailing. Had a brain lock and never thought of it. Bulldozer I going for about $18. Good to know there are others who just can't get their cars clean enough and keep trying harder. Thanks, again, to all who shared.
