Hi, I have been having to rush the cleaning of the inside of the back window because the top doesn’t stay partially open - any suggestions? Thamks.
The best way I’ve seen is to put the top down and then set the luggage-loading position. That will keep the back window in a fixed position and still provide access to clean the inside of the glass.

I've said this before on a similar thread, drop the top into the boot/trunk, lift the boot/trunk which lifts the folded roof slightly, then there is great access to clean the inside of the rear screen. If you can't visualise it then please try it 😁
I partially open the top AND leave the engine running. My top will stay up but will get a warning that the top is open. I usually try to clean it as quickly as possible. Hopefully it doesn't put an strain on any parts to leave the top in a partially open position for a few minutes.

I concur with @rmorin49 that if you leave the engine running, the top should stay in a partially open position. I usually use my pressure washer when I am washing the car. I know, it gets a little damp inside, but my window is clean! Just kidding. I never clean my rear window and just pretend that it is tinted.
