Special Care for Canvas Top and
Plastic Windows
Your canvas top should be cleaned often. If you use an
automatic car wash, use one with water jets and
hanging cloths. 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. Don't use
detergents, harsh cleaners, solvent or bleaching
agents.
Wet the entire vehicle and wash 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 mild
foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle,
then let the top dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the canvas top:
After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top is
completely dry before you open or remove it.
Don't get any vinyl 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.
The plastic windows are pliable and can be scratched
if you don't take these precautions when you
clean them:

Wipe off dust with a soft cotton cloth moistened
with clean, cool or lukewarm water. Don't use a
"dry" cloth. Wipe in one direction only, not back and
forth.
To remove frost, snow or ice, use lukewarm water.
Don't use a scraper or any de-icing fluids.
Wash the windows with a soft cloth and clean, cool
or lukewarm water. Never use a dry cloth, hot
water, strong soap
or
detergent, solvents
or
harsh
cleaning agents. Rinse thoroughly and wipe
with a slightly moist soft, clean cloth.
Don't put any labels, stickers or tape on windows.
It's hard to remove adhesives left on the windows
when such items are removed. If a sticker or
label must be removed, remove any adhesive left
on the window while the adhesive is still soft
and sticky. Press on a new sticker or piece of tape
and then lift it off again; keep doing this until all
the adhesives lifts off with the sticker or tape.
