CAUTION!
 Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax build up may
result.
 It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to opening it. Operating the top, opening a door or
lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle's interior.
 Use care when washing the vehicle, water pressure
directed at the weather strip seals may cause water
to leak into the vehicle's interior.
 Careless handling and storage of the removable roof
panels may damage the seals, causing water to leak
into the vehicle's interior.
 The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to
ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle's interior.
CAUTION!
 Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing
stations. Wash the vehicle only by hand using neutral
pH detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
 Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle under
trees; remove vegetable resins immediately as, when
dried, it may only be possible to remove them with
abrasive products and/or polishes, which is highly
inadvisable as they could alter the typical opaque-
ness of the paint.
 Do not use pure windshield washer fluid for cleaning
the front windshield and rear window; dilute it
minimum 50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to outside
temperature conditions.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic windows which
can be scratched unless special care is taken by following
these directions:
 Never use a dry cloth to remove dust. Instead, use a
microfiber towel or soft cotton cloth moistened with
cold or warm, clean water, and wipe across the
window, not up and down. Mopar® Jeep® Soft Glass
Window Cleaner or equivalent will safely clean all
plastic windows without scratching. It removes fine
scratches to improve visibility and provides UV protec-
tion to help prevent yellowing.
 When washing, never use hot water or anything
stronger than a mild soap. Never use solvents such as
alcohol or harsh cleaning agents.
 Always rinse thoroughly with cold water, then wipe with
a soft and slightly moist, clean cloth.
 When removing frost, snow or ice, never use a scraper
or de-icing chemicals. Use warm water only if you must
clean the window quickly.
 Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from off-road
driving will have an impact on plastic retainer opera-
tion. Even normal on-road driving and vehicle washing
will eventually impact window plastic retainer opera-
tion. To maintain ease of use of the window plastic
retainers, each window plastic retainer should be
