Convertible Top and Rear Window Cautions

^ After washing, make sure that the top is completely dry before lowering to avoid water stains on interior materials and mildew damage to the rear window.

^ Mildew may occur more rapidly if the top remains lowered for extended periods of time under damp conditions. Mildew appears brownish in color and may give off an undesirable odor. No amount of cleaning can reverse this condition. If it occurs, the window must be replaced.

^ Do not use brushes and automatic car washes, as they may abrade the rear window, top material and threads.

^ Do not use a dry cloth to remove even the slightest amount of dust from the rear window. Use a soft cotton towel saturated with water and gently wipe in a horizontal and vertical direction.

^ Do not use a scraper, de-icing chemicals or sprays to remove frost snow, or ice from the window. In an emergency, warm water (never hot) may be used. Hot water may cause permanent warping or shrinking of the window material.

^ Do not use solvents, such as: alcohol, nail polish remover, or paint thinner on the back window or top.

^ Do not use bleach, ammonia, window cleaner, or all-purpose household cleaners on the rear window or the top.

^ Do not use unapproved surface protectants, cleaners, polishes, waxes, so-called "beautifiers", or any compound or solution containing silicone.

^ Do not apply advertising stickers, gummed labels, or adhesive tape to the window. Such items will damage the rear window.
