Windshield and Wiper Blades

If the windshield is not clear after using the
windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters
when running, wax, sap, or other material may
be on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with a glass
cleaning liquid or powder and water solution.
The windshield is clean if beads do not form when
it is rinsed with water.
Grime from the windshield will stick to the wiper
blades and affect their performance. Clean
the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked
in full-strength windshield washer solvent. Then
rinse the blade with water.
Check the wiper blades and clean them as
necessary; replace blades that look worn.

Convertible Top

The vehicle's convertible top should be cleaned
often. However, high pressure car washes
may cause water to enter your vehicle.

When you hand wash the top, do it in partial
shade. Use a mild soap, lukewarm water and a
soft sponge. A chamois or cloth may leave lint on
the top, and a brush can chafe the threads in
the top fabric. Do not use detergents, harsh
cleaners, solvents or bleaching agents.
Wet the entire vehicle and wash the top evenly to
avoid spots or rings. Let the soap remain on
the fabric for a few minutes. When the top is really
dirty, use a mild foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly
rinse the entire vehicle, then let the top dry
in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top
is completely dry before you lower it.
Do not get any cleaner on the vehicle's
painted finish; it could leave streaks.
If you decide to go through an automatic car
wash, ask the manager if the equipment
could damage your top.
