GFC Recommended Method / Tool for Washing Back Window

GENERAL DISCUSSION
1

Can you recommend a tool to wash the back window of a Tacoma and the front window of the GFC? I have purchased a few washing tools to get those windows clean but none fit. I am assuming that this is something that has been figured out on your side. Perhaps you all could recommend what washing tool to purchase to get this job done. @GFC

Thanks.

Small child arm from the sliding window in the truck is my go to method

whilst I don’t really worry about that area in particular, I use a ‘self wash’ to clean the truck and find blasting the high pressure hose thru there works pretty decent

who washes a truck? that’s what rain is for.

I found the only that really works is loosen the mounts and slide the camper a few inches

I haven’t found anything that you can buy that works and even power washing doesn’t really do the job. Next time I wash it I’m gonna tape a sponge onto a wooden yardstick, think that might get the job done.

Yeah, it’s been a struggle for sure. I definitely get my truck dirty, and call me crazy, but I like to see out of my back window. I also wash my truck from time to time and don’t appreciate a job almost done.

Nothing I have purchased has worked yet. My hope is that someone has figured it out, or GFC will put something together.

Can you stick a sponge on a broom handle?

I wash my truck twice a year… after winter, and after summer. Rain does the rest.

Just deleted my rear view mirror. No GFC windows, so don’t care there…

Works well, but there’s really no way that I’ve found to get the windows in there perfectly clear.

Peace.

I think the it would be a great option for GFC to offer the option of having a flip down, removable and sliding front window to the GFC. This is offered by pretty much all the main camper manufacturers; Snug Top, King etc…
The GFC is a exceptionally innovative and well made design and GFC is always looking for ways to improve and innovate further.

I am certain that with enough demand sent to them they could and would easily come up with a flip down, removable and sliding solution.

I have always liked having a flip down window with a slider in it.
I’ve found this very useful to have for the following reasons:

  • It serves as a pass through from the cab to the camper.
  • It provides front to back ventilation with great circulation.
  • Ability to properly clean. Although this is last on my list.
    After driving large trucks, trucks with campers and Fire Engines I really don’t look through the cab much. I use it more to see that there’s no issues with my cargo especially while off roading and hauling ass.

Hey GFC are you guys up for this?

I invented a bottle brush attached to a thin pole to solve the window washing problem. Not only did it wash the window poorly, and took a while, but the brush fell off between the camper and the truck. I am going to license my design…

I would happily pay for a panel upgrade if @GFC offered it. Window fix, power locks – general upgrade all around.
