the top fabric and to prevent streaking on painted and
chrome surfaces. Allow the top to dry before lowering.
Vacuuming the top with a wet/dry shop vacuum will
decrease the top’s drying time, ensure removal of all dirt,
and delete streaks in the material. Multiple cleanings
may be necessary to remove stubborn stains. If stains
persist, contact your local dealership for further
suggestions.
Additional Cleaning Procedure
For additional cleaning assistance in removing stubborn
stains, apply MOPAR
Convertible Cloth Top Cleaner or
equivalent to the complete stain, extending 2 inches
(50 mm) beyond the stain. With a soft bristle brush, scrub
in all directions over the stain. Avoid heavy scrubbing.
Rinse the area with warm water. If the stain is still
apparent, repeat the cleaning procedure. When the stain
is no longer showing, rinse the complete top with warm
water. Let the top dry before lowering it.
Protection
For appearance purposes, you may wish to protect your
cloth top periodically. A fabric protectant such as Scotch-
guard
is suggested. The top should be clean and dry
before application of the protectant.
CAUTION!
Avoid getting Scotchguard
on the surrounding
weather strips, moldings, paint, or glass. Damage to
these items might occur.
