Removable Roof Panel
Notice: If you use a glass treatment and/or
conditioner that contains ethyl alcohol or ethyl
sulfate on the roof panel, you could damage
the panel. The repairs would not be covered by your
warranty. Only use a GM-approved glass cleaner
on the 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 a transparent roof panel with GM Glass
Cleaner. Leave the cleaner on the panel for one
minute, then wipe the panel with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not use glass cleaner on a painted roof panel.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on either type
of panel.
If water drops are frequently allowed to dry on the roof
panel, impurities in the water will adhere to the top.
These impurities may etch or mar the finish. When the
panel gets wet, dry it off.
Convertible Top
The vehicle’s convertible top should be cleaned often.
However, high pressure car washes may cause water to
enter your vehicle.
When you hand wash the top, do it in partial shade.
Use a mild soap, lukewarm water and a soft sponge.
A chamois or cloth may leave lint on the top, and
a brush can chafe the threads in the top fabric. Do not
use detergents, harsh cleaners, solvents or bleaching
agents.
Wet the entire vehicle and wash the top evenly to avoid
spots or rings. Let the soap remain on the fabric for
a few minutes. When the top is really dirty, use a mild
foam-type cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the entire
vehicle, then let the top dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
• After you wash the vehicle, make sure the top is
completely dry before you lower it.
• Do not get any cleaner on the vehicle’s painted
finish; it could leave streaks.
• If you decide to go through an automatic car wash,
ask the manager if the equipment could damage
your top.
