I have an issue with my lift-and-slide door. After only 1.5 years, dirt has accumulated on the fixed part. Since it doesn’t look very nice, I wanted to clean it. However, I can’t reach the spot because the sliding door is always in front of it. I have attached three pictures: one with the door fully open, one half open, and one closed. I hope this helps to better understand the problem. The dirty part is visible in picture 2, but the glass pane is in front of it there.

but with a damp sponge on the handle you might be able to achieve something.

I was thinking along the same lines, maybe a pipe cleaner and some soapy water or something like that.

Or these heating system cleaners... from ProWin (or was it HaRa?) there are holders with stretchable cleaning mops.

Otherwise, removing the window is still an option.

I have been able to solve this problem by removing a cladding on the lift-and-slide door, which allowed access to an extendable dust seal (???).

since a cover panel came loose on the lift-and-slide door

Then please take a photo for future readers who might face the same issue, showing where you found the screws for it.
