I have a ‘23 Vantage roadster. The inside of the rear window is quite full of smudges and dirt. You can’t remove the glass wind blocker and you can’t stop the mechanical operation half way down to obtain access. What you are left with are left and right 4” open areas on either side of the head rests per my photo.
Unless you are an 8 year old with 6 feet arms it is impossible to reach all the areas you need to clean. I have bought all kinds of window extension tools on Amazon but the angles are impossible to reach. I will need shoulder surgery if I don’t stop. How could this design flaw been overlooked?

Pretty sure I just stopped the roof opening procedure in a suitable place to gain access from the sides.

With a bit of experimenting you should find the right point.

Just be sure there’s no one else around to go near the roof switch while you have your arm in there.

The seats tip forward but not enough to make a difference. The owner’s manual says not to try stopping the roofs operation.
I appreciate the suggestions.
