Default How are you all cleaning the inside of the convertible rear window?

New owner of a 2016 F-Type S, trying to figure out the best way to clean the inside of the rear convertible window. Not sure if they all do, but mine also has this net in the way...

I'm sure this is a dumb question with a simple answer. 🤣

And while you have the net out of the way, clean/vacuum the soft-top's storage area.

Agreed, although getting that vacuum hose back there and just blindly moving it around to suck up anything in the base is the best I could do.

I don't even put the top down to nemove my net. It onlyneeds to come up a tiny bit before you can take it out.

The rails that hold hte net in place have a little flip forward holder at the top. Push the net down a little to take the tension off them, then flip each one forward and the net slides rigth up. It only has to come up a little bit before you can remove it. To put it back inplace after cleaning the window, just reverse the process and push the net into the slots a little past where it will allow the flips to go back into place.
