Default Windshield

This may seem like a trivial and minor issue to some here, but I have to ask. How can I get my windshield clean? I'm old and cannot flex and bend like I could when I was younger,but today's vehicles have such a slant to the windshield it's hard for us older guys to get them clean, hell anymore it seems you would almost have to be a contortionist to get it done. Anyone here offer any suggestions?

I understand what your saying. My service truck for work is a nightmare to clean. The F-150, not so much but purchasing this should help. It does not extend, but works well.

Open the door, hold the handle and stand on the floorboards. I can easily reach the middle of the windshield.

I am guessing he means inside as you have to cram yourself half up onto the dash to reach the whole thing. One of those handheld wand cleaning tools would work well. On the outside, either a small foot stool or go to a truck stop and buy a 3 foot squeegee like they have at the diesel pumps.
