How do you clean the inside of the rear window?

Noticed the other day that the inside of my rear window was pretty dirty but the question is, now to clean it. Even with the front seats folded forwards, reaching the extremities of the window is a stretch. I tried opening the roof and stopping half-way but still difficult.

How do you do it?

Start the engine and keep it running. Then move the roof to whatever position is easiest to clean. This will prevent the roof from closing on you.

Retract the roof in the trunk. Push the red button that lets the roof assembly move up slightly for adding luggage. This will give you access to the inside glass enough to do a good cleaning job on it.

It seems many have issues with the red button not working. It is important to note that the button must be lit and if it isn't lit then it means that the lead at the back of the button has been disconnected. The cable is too short and under a variety of circumstances comes out of the plug. Just remove the small panel and reconnect the lead then replace the Panel.
