WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES

The windshield, rear window and wiper blades
should be cleaned regularly. If the wiper does not
wipe properly, substances on the windshield, rear
window or the wiper blades may be the cause. These
may include hot wax treatments used by commercial
car washes, tree sap, or other organic contamination.
To clean these items, please follow these tips:
• The windshield or rear window may be cleaned

with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Motorcraft
Ultra Clear Spray Glass Cleaner (ZC-23), available
from your dealer.

• Do not use abrasives, as they may cause

scratches.

• Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to

clean any parts.

• Wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl

(rubbing) alcohol or windshield washer solution.
Be sure to replace wiper blades when they appear
worn or do not function properly.

CONVERTIBLE TOP AND PADDED MOLDING

Wash with Motorcraft Triple Clean (ZC-13), which is
available from your dealer.
• Do not use stiff bristle brushes or abrasive

materials or cleaners.

• Hot waxes applied by commercial car washes can

affect the cleanability of vinyl material.

• Using high water pressure or wand-type car

washes against the convertible top and windows
may cause water leaks and possible seal damage.

INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CLUSTER LENS

Clean the instrument panel with a damp cloth, then
dry with a dry cloth.
• Avoid cleaners or polish that increase the gloss of

the upper portion of the instrument panel. The
dull finish in this area helps protect the driver
from undesirable windshield reflection.
