Cleaning Top Fabric and Rear Window
CONVERTIBLE TOP FABRIC1. Rinse top with fresh water. Wash using mild soap suds, lukewarm water (never hot) and a sponge. Rinse the top with enough clean water to remove all traces of soap. Be careful to rinse any cleaner off the body as it may cause streaking if allowed to dry on the painted surfaces.
2. After cleaning, always be sure the top is completely dry before it is lowered. Lowering the top while it is wet or damp may cause interior water damage, water stains or mildew of the top and rear window material.
REAR WINDOW:
These convertibles have a flexible plastic rear window. Due to its material composition, the window can suffer scratches and abrasions. To avoid damage to the rear window, clean as follow:
1. Generously rinse the window with water to loosen all dust and dirt. Start at the top, using a back and forth motion. Do not spray the top.
Caution:
Wash the rear window using gentle horizontal and vertical strokes, do not use a circular motion. Use a 100% cotton terry cloth towel.
2. Gently wash the window with warm or cold (never hot) water and a mild neutral soap. Dip your cloth into the wash bucket frequently. Change the wash water frequently to reduce the possibility of waterborne dirt scratching the window. Do not rub hard. Let the soap and water remove the dirt.
3. Rinse the window thoroughly with fresh water. If any soap dries on the window, it may cause streaking.
4. Dry the window with a clean, damp, soft cotton cloth. The main purpose of drying is to remove excess water so that the window will air dry without water spots. Do not rub or press hard, as this might scratch the window.
5. Before lowering the top, make sure to remove any water that may have accumulated during the cleaning in the top stowage well behind the rear seat/trunk area.
