I have a camper shell on my truck. I am wondering how I can clean between it and my cab?? I don't think my front window comes out to do this. How do you guys that detail do it???

Re: Camper shells???
If it's painted then you can go ahead and treat it like the paint on your car.
If it is just fiberglass then a different approach may or may not be needed. Not really sure.Tedrow's Detailing

Re: Camper shells???
Shawn it a tight spot between the camper and the cab where my back glass is. I need a big sponge on a stick.Comment

Re: Camper shells???
I just used an old broom handle with a wash mitt on the end. The worse part was keeping the mitt on the stick, ended up just using some duct tape. Not the best setup, but did keep the window(s) clean if nothing else.
Once a year, I'd just loosen up the hold-downs and scoot it back a touch so I could actually 'clean' it.
Yea, a pain in the toosh for sure.

Re: Camper shells???
Does your truck have a sliding rear window? If so, you may be able to access between the cab and the canopy. Perhaps, contact companies like SnugTop etc and see what they suggest. They may offer a flexible stick with a mop, or like what was suggested, use a thin flexible rod to get in there.
Otherwise, you can place 2x4's across the trucks bed between the box rails and the canopy. Then you can slide the canopy back so you can get at it. But if you have bolted it down rather than clamps, then I would leave it in place.
Please keep us posted!

Re: Camper shells???
A fiberglass rod with a wash mitt attached to it works for me, but I have a sliding glass on both the truck and the shell. I can get in the bed and open the slider to clean.Comment
