put an eardrum blowing audio system in it. neither me, nor my wife use it. so it just takes up about 90% of the cargo room and weights about 120 lbs.

get a plastic one. they make them to still scape it off but not scratch the window. this and a little brake clean on a rag to wipe if off the window with should do it easy. this is how i cleaned my windows with overspray when i sprayed it with beadliner.

no need for plastic one unless you have butterfingers or even worse stupidfingers. Dont clean the INSIDE of your windshield or any concave surface with the razorblade as it will scratch your window. You can use it on any convex surface as long as its a NEW razor blade....NEVER EVER EVER!!! use a dull razor or even a used razor.

My aunt and uncle own a autoglass shop. Also use a little invisible glass or a similar glass cleaner to make it easier
