• After cleaning your vehicle's fabric top,

always make sure it is completely dry be-
fore lowering.

• Be especially careful when washing the

windows by following the directions for
“Care of Fabric Top Windows.”

Washing –

Use Mopar Car Wash or equivalent,

or mild soap suds, lukewarm water, and a
brush with soft bristles. If extra cleaning is
required, use Mopar Convertible Cloth Top
Cleaner or equivalent, or a mild foaming
cleaner on the entire top, but support the top
from underneath.

Rinsing –

Be sure to remove all traces of

cleaner by rinsing the top thoroughly with
clean water. Remember to allow the top to dry
before lowering it.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these cautions may cause
interior water damage, stains or mildew on
the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they

can damage the top material. Also, in-
creased water pressure may force past
the weather strips.

• 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, wa-

ter 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 in-
stallation can cause water to leak into
the vehicle's interior.

Care Of Fabric Top Windows

Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic
windows which can be scratched unless spe-
cial care is taken by following these direc-
tions:

• Never use a dry cloth to remove dust. In-

stead,

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 re-
moves fine scratches to improve visibility
and provides UV protection to help prevent
yellowing.

• When washing,

never use hot water

or any-

thing 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.
