Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models
To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's interior trim
and
top, follow these precautions:
• Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended with the top down,
as
exposure to sun or rain may damage interior trim.
• Do not use harsh cleaners or bleaching agents on top mate-
ria
l, as damage may result.
• D
o not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down and dry on the
pai
nt, leaving a streak.
• After cleaning your vehicle's fabric top, always make sure
it
is completely dry before lowering.
• Be especially careful when washing the windows by
fol
lowing the directions for “Care of Fabric Top Window”
in this section.
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
d
ama
ge, stains or mildew on the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage
the
top material. Also, increased water pressure may
force past the weather strips.
• It is recommended that the top be free of water prior to
open
ing 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
dir
ected at the weather strip seals may cause water to
leak into the vehicle's interior.
• Careless handling and storage of the removable roof
pan
els may damage the seals, causing water to leak into
the vehicle's interior.
• The front panel(s) must be positioned properly to
ens
ure sealing. Improper installation can cause water to
leak into the vehicle's interior.
