WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES
The windshield, rear and side windows and the
wiper blades should be cleaned regularly. If the
wipers do not wipe properly, substances on the
vehicle’s glass 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, rear windows and side windows
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.
