Cleaning the

If
the windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running,

windshield.

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 Index.)
Cleaning
a
Removable
Roof
Panel
Special care is necessary when cleaning, removing
and/or storing the
roof
panel.
Flush with water to remove dust and dirt, then dry
the panel.
Clean the panel with
GM
Glass Cleaner. Leave the
cleaner on the panel for
one
minute, then wipe the
panel with
a
soft, lint-free cloth.
Don’t use abrasive cleaning materials.
