Cleaning Inside of SLK 350 Rear Glass
Should receive car any day. In anticipation of the big event would like some feedback on what other owners have found to be THE method for cleaning the inside of the rear glass.

With the previous generation SLK, the trick is to suspend the roof sequence in the middle (rear window oriented vertically) to allow cleaning it.

I agree... stop the top half way up and reach back to spritz the quality glass cleaner and wipe with a microfiber glass towel.
Then resume the top sequence.
It's a little hard, but it's the only way I've found that works well..

Just wipe it very carefully with the top up. I did it over the weekend. Or open the top half way where you can access the rear window from the outside and wipe it very carefully.

Cleaning Insile of SLK 350 Rear Glass
Thanks to you who gave input. Didn't think the SLK 230/320 technique would work due to rear glass folding differently. Hope it works 'cause from inside the car will need much longer arms than currently equipped with.
