Surfaces
Glass should be cleaned often.

or a liquid household glass cleaner
will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films on
interior glass.
Don’t use abrasive cleaners on glass, because they may
cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear
window, since they may have to be scraped off later. If
abrasive cleaners are used
on
the
inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Any temporary license should not be attached across the
defogger’grid.
Cleaning the Outside
of
the
Windshield and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the
windshield washer, or
if
the wiper blade chatters
when running, wax, sap or other material may’ be
on the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside
of
the windshield with
GM

glass cleaning powder),
GM

1.
The
windshield
is
clean
if
beads do not form when
you
rinse
it with water.
Grime from the windshield will stick to the wiper blades
and affect their performance. Clean the blade by wiping
vigorously with
a
cloth soaked in full-strength windshield
washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.
Check the wiper blades and clean them as necessary;
replace blades that look worn.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Maintenance Schedule
booklet.)
