I step on the front wheel. Usually one foot on the running board and one on the tire. I do this before dressing the tire. I dressed the tire first once... won't do that again. Good way to get a laugh out of the neighbors. I actually don't recommend this method as it only takes a split second for something bad to happen. It's just the way I do it.

When I don't have the ladder out I open the door all the way, left foot on the lower trim stem, right foot in the air, left hip on the gap between door and truck. For passenger just switch sides. Works pretty well and plenty to grab onto when wet.

I just open the doors and stand on the sill, I am 6.1 and have plenty of reach.

Open the door, stand on the sill, and hold the grab handle with the hand you aren't using to clean the windshield.

Do ½ or ¾ of the windshield from the ground on 1 side then go to the other side and use a paper towel to wipe/dry the squeegee each time you make a pass.

Im 5' 11" and it's quick and easy and done from the ground.
