Cleaning Vert Plastic Window
Whats the best way to clean the rear plastic window without scratching it? Any help appreciated - just replaced the top and window and don't want to mess the new one up trying to clean it.

On my older Mustang covert I clean the plastic window with a damp microfiber towel. but if your plastic window is scratched or has "rubbed" marks, there is no way to get those marks out. Just the hazards of having said plastic window.
I'd suppose you could use a mild soap solution like dawn with the microfiber, but would depend on how dirty the window is.

Stop in to your local boat emporium. I used to have a hot rod 23' Baja with a plastic windscreen. The boating supply houses have several products for cleaning plastic that work great.

Meguires has a product called Plaxtex or something like that. Works good on the vert. plastic window and lens covers.

From my motorcycle experience cleaning plastic windshields and face shields, you never want to use Windex or any ammonia-based glass cleaner, as it will kill the plastic! Windex = 
Most Motorcycle shops carry a spray product called "Plexus" that is safe for cleaning plastic and it works well. This applies to the plastic window tinting on the inside of your car as well!
