If I may ask here - How do you clean the inside of the rear window? My car has a Wind Restrictor installed, so I can’t get to the rear window with the top up. As I understand it, if you stop convertible top operation part-way, you have to reindex the windows.

I always unlock doors and roll both windows all the way down first, then I can stop the top operation at any point to clean. I’ve never had to reindex mine. Here’s what I use. It works great on inside of windshield too for those impossible to reach corners👍

That’s what I use for the windshield too. I just did it want to cause any issues by stopping the top mid-operation. Guess I was overthinking it. This is my first power top car. Thanks for the quick reply.

Don't the windows automatically go down as soon as you push the top down button?

^^^ you are absolutely correct, they do roll down automatically. I guess I”m just so OCD that I always roll them down first before opening the top partially when I’m cleaning her up!
