GROUND MARKS ON THE INSIDE GLASS SURFACES
DESCRIPTION:
On some vehicles, circular marks may be visible on the inside surface of the glass. Typically these circles may only be visible when the glass is fogged or dirty. These circular marks result from the suction cups used to handle the glass as it is assembled to the vehicle.
These marks may be removed by cleaning the glass with a good quality glass cleaner, such as Hyundai Glass Cleaner (P/N 00232-12160). Scrub the glass two or three times with a clean cloth or paper towel, until the circle cannot be felt anymore. If this is not successful, the following procedure can be used to clean the glass.
PRODUCTS REQUIRED:
^ Hyundai Brand Glass Cleaner (P/N 00232-12160) or equivalent
^ No Touch brand "Auto Glass Stripper" available from Napa, Shucks, Kragen etc.
^ Clean towels or lint free disposable towels
^ A damp sponge or towel
PROCEDURE:
NOTE:
Protect the trim under the glass. Any cleaners that drip onto the trim should be wiped up immediately with a clean damp cloth.
1. Fog the inside of the glass with a fine mist of glass cleaner. If the circles are present, they should be visible. Dry the glass.
2. Apply a small dab of "No Touch" brand "Auto Glass Stripper" to a clean damp towel or sponge (about a dime sized spot) and apply to the affected area. Only work a small area at one time. Rub the product into the glass, scrubbing the surface of the glass. Do not allow the product to drip onto the interior trim. After finishing with the first area, apply another small dab to the towel/sponge and repeat for any additional areas.
3. Use a clean damp towel to remove the product from the glass. It may be necessary to use a few clean towels.
4. Fog the inside of the glass with a fine mist of glass cleaner. If any of the circle marks are still visible, repeat the procedure. If not, clean the glass a final time to ensure no streaks are present.
