How to Clean the Gap of Vehicle Glass?
2 Answers
Methods for cleaning the gap of vehicle glass: 1. Find a thin metal sheet of suitable size and wrap it with a dry cloth; 2. Insert the cloth-wrapped metal sheet into the gap of the car window, gently push it from front to back. When the cloth becomes dirty, use the clean side to wrap the metal sheet and repeat the process until no obvious dust is visible on the cloth. The dust in the gap of the car window is usually a place that cannot be cleaned during regular car washing. However, if the gap is filled with dust, the dust will stick to the window when the glass is raised or lowered, leaving unsightly marks. Be careful not to use excessive force when cleaning the dust in the glass gap to avoid damaging the sealing rubber strip.
I used to often worry about cleaning the window gaps, but the key is using the right tools and methods. My favorite approach is to first use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the dust and debris from the gaps. If you don't have a vacuum, a small handheld one will do. After that, use a small soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush dipped in diluted soapy water to gently scrub the inside of the gaps. Avoid applying too much pressure to prevent scratching the glass. Finally, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth to avoid water stains. As for cleaning frequency, I recommend doing it quarterly, especially after the rainy season, as rainwater carries dirt that can easily clog the gaps, leading to less smooth window operation and even affecting wiper performance. Developing this habit can extend the lifespan of your windows and reduce maintenance hassles. After cleaning, the car just feels smoother to drive.
