Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in the vehicle are
molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care
must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.

cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a clean damp
rag.

solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.If the seat belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or
lukewarm water. Do not remove the seat belts from the
vehicle to wash them.
Replace the seat belts if they appear frayed or worn or if
the buckles do not work properly.

Due not use sharp-edged instruments to remove
snow or ice from the soft top.
