    Hi matey shame about the window, however if you have a thick brush where the bristles dont move use that to go over your seats aiming anything on there to the floor and fi you can get hold of a A3 size bit of paper put that on the floor then simply remove the paper. hope this is some use to you.

    at work we use a henry hoover,a small brush attatchment and a pair of goggles to save shards in the eyes,takes a bit of time though.

    you have to be careful not to get glass splinters on your fingers though and also not to push it further into the seat

    as above a stiff brush is good make sure youve got goggles too as those shards dont half flick about! then hoover as you go and removing the seats does help alot also dampening the suede will help a bit too

    you really need is a decent hoover that can really suck properly, use a Dyson hoover it creates a massive suction and will suck anything tiny out, as well as using the supplied brush can also help dislodge the tiny bits clinging to the seat material which acts like velcro and sticks the small glas pieces to itself.
