Cleaning and Maintenance

GENERAL INFORMATION
Glass surfaces are best cleaned with the use of a commercially made cleaner. Do not scrape off smears from bugs, road tars, or similar objects, use warm water or the recommended solvents to remove.

Do not use putty knives, razor blades, steel wool, or other metal objects to remove deposits from the glass.

All sunroofs are installed with drain tubes that are located in either the "A," "B," or "C" pillars. These drain tubes must be kept open to prevent water from entering the passenger compartment.

MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
1. During cable replacement, lubricate cables with Lubriplate or equivalent.
2. Periodically clean off any dirt that may have accumulated on guide rail covers.

Drain Tubes
1. During regular maintenance, check the two drain holes at the front corners of the roof panel to make certain they are open and free of foreign material. If drains are plugged, they can be cleaned with an air hose or flexible wire. if they cannot be cleaned in this manner, they must be replaced.
2. To clean rear drain tubes, use an air hose or flexible wire from the bottom of the tubes.
