Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models
• 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.
• 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 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 properly to ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
