SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 423
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in
the paint, touch them up immediately. The
cost of such repairs is considered the respon-
sibility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision
or similar cause that destroys the paint and
protective coating, have your vehicle repaired
as soon as possible. The cost of such repairs
is considered the responsibility of the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemicals,
fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such
materials are well packaged and sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,
consider mud or stone shields behind each
wheel.
Use Mopar Touch Up Paint on scratches as
soon as possible. An authorized dealer has
touch up paint to match the color of your
vehicle.
Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models
To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's
interior trim and top, follow these precautions:
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic
car wash. Window scratches and wax
build-up may result.
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 material, as damage may
result.
Do not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down
and dry on the paint, 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 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 of
the top material:
Do not run a fabric top through an auto-
matic 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 prop-
erly to ensure sealing. Improper installation
can cause water to leak into the vehicle’s
interior.
