Cleaning Inside Of Rear Window?

So I finally got some time to clean the filthy windows of my new car, and discovered that there are 2 patches of inside window I can't clean due to a pair of black thingies that's attached to the roll bar - how do I get behind those two?  Cheers!

Take them off. It also provides a couple of more inches of leg room at the same time.

Rear thingies are velcrod on.

Oops.  What are they for, anyway?  Cheers!

cleaning windscreen also a bit of a pain too , just wait until you try to open the front bonnet

If they're velcro'd on, they won't be much use in an accident!  Have opened the bonnet a number of times, no issues (yet...).  While we're on this subject, what exactly is the issue that a number of people have and how do I fix this?  Cheers!

Underneath the padding are some steel spoons welded on your rollbar.

The rear padding is velcro'd on. When you remove that you see 3 bolts that can remove the front side padding.

With both gone, you only see the metal spoons.

Some remove it to give aftermarket seats a bit more space to go backwards. 

Ooh that makes sense now.  Thanks.  Do they just come off, or do I have to pull downwards, or there's a special way to do it hopefully not involving sacrifice of my firstborn?

If I bothered to read your message properly, I'd have seen you've already told me how to do it.
