How does anyone get their hand down past the C7's binnacle to clean the inside of the window ... It looks impossible !!

I'll be down to WallMart today getting one of these. Sometimes you see something inexpensive you just can't wait to get for something 'expensive' . Thanks for the post. I'm just short enough I think it'll work well for the top part of the inside back glass too.

I use a 12" plastic ruler that is about 1 1/2" wide wrapped with an old towel to clean the difficult to reach areas of the windshield.

I also use the plastic ruler to clean the same areas of the dash. I spray Aerospace Protectant 303 on the towel and wrap the ruler so that only the damp part of the towel is against the dash and the dry area of the towel is touching the glass.

I made mine out of a new kitchen spatula with a foot sock on it, I just straightened it and bent it to fit where I wanted it to go.

It worked so good I kept it.
