Did not find a thread for a cleaning tool between the topper and cab/bed. Did google rabbit hole search.

Ordered a topper, a first for me; besides the tilt in window on the topper for access, anyone using a tool to help clean this area.

thank you ahead of time for the community help.

I still have my really old Starbrite Kleen B’tween sponge on a stick, it worked OK but has long been discontinued. I originally bought it at the dealer that sold me the topper….I don’t know if there is an official truck scrubber, but this might work. You need to make sure it has a non marring flexible handle.

Once clean, you can use a thick microfiber towel and drag it around in the gap to remove water to keep it from spotting.

If there is a better solution, I sure want to know about it.

Note from topper dealer below...

" Your topper is coming with the tilt-down front sliding window, which makes it easy to clean the front of the topper window and the back of the cab without having to use any special tool (sponge on a stick!). See attached pics for reference. "

Looks like they do not have a concern....

Any updates to this thread? I emailed the maker of the Kleen B’Tween brush, his last Facebook presence was in 2017, but I doubt that he will respond. What is odd is that no other company has stepped in with this tool. I might have to try that Naked Lady Back Butt Scrubber set. But the 1 star reviews are pretty scathing….

Bought something in a car wash kit that included something that looks like image below, but has an extenable handel. Looked on my Amazon orders and did not find it. I did have to reinforce it a bit with some duct tape as it can/could be removed for washing machine/cleaning.

I'll look later if I can find a "brand" on the tool(s)

Works pretty good when I don't want to crawl in the topper and drop the window down.

Couple of pic's of the tool.

Works pretty well. Can remove the cleaning pad from handle. Will have to reinforce the upper part (Styrofoam) and metal rod inside attached to base as with use it wanted to come apart. Used the universal repair kit called duct tape. Also be a little carful when slipping between topper and cab as the telescoping rod is just OK.

But it works.
