Cleaning the CSC roof

Clean the CSC roof only when it is closed ⇒ p age 55, CSC roof.
Wash the CSC roof only in an automatic car wash or by hand.
Never wash the CSC roof with a power washer.
If the CSC roof is very dirty, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized
Volkswagen Service Facility.
The CSC roof gaskets (rubber seals) require special care ⇒ p age 382, Caring for rubber door and
window seals.
Ask an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility if you have
any additional questions about cleaning and caring for the CSC roof.
WARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, the wet brakes or, in winter, brake discs or pads coated
with ice, react slower and need longer stopping distances.
Always dry the brakes and clean off any ice coatings with a few careful applications of the
brake. Make sure not to endanger other motorists or cyclists or disobey legal requirements.
WARNING
Always close the CSC roof completely before washing. Never pause the CSC roof in a
partly open position to clean the side roof pillar shafts or the roof rods. The CSC roof will go
down by itself after a short time and could injure someone who is in its way.
Never reach into the roof pillar compartments or the roof linkage, regardless of whether
the roof is opened, closed, or somewhere in between.
CAUTION
Sharp edges under the vehicle can cut exposed skin.
Always protect your hands and arms from cuts on sharp metal edges when cleaning the
underbody, the inside of the wheel housings, etc.
NOTICE
Never wash the CSC roof with a power washer or use "brushless" automatic car washes. Water
that is sprayed under high pressure may cause leaks or may damage the rubber seals of the
CSC roof.
Do not use any rubber care materials that contain silicone or any cleaners that contain
acids such as industrial dust remover or insect remover on the CSC roof seals.
NOTICE
The water temperature must not be more than +140 °F (+60 °C).
To help prevent damage to the paint, do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight.
Do not use insect sponges, abrasive kitchen sponges or similar things to clean the vehicle.
These can damage the paint finish.
