If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near
the ocean, hose off the undercarriage at least once a
month.
It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors, rocker panels, and trunk be kept clear and
open.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint,
touch them up immediately. The cost of such repairs is
considered the responsibility of the owner.
If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision or similar
cause that destroys the paint and protective coating,
have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The
cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of
the owner.
If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers,
de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well
packaged and sealed.
If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud
or stone shields behind each wheel.
Use Mopar Touch Up Paint on scratches as soon as
possible. An authorized dealer has touch up paint to
match the color of your vehicle.
Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models
To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's interior trim
and top, follow these precautions:
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car wash.
Window scratches and wax build up may result.
Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended with the top
down, as exposure to sun or rain may damage interior
trim.
Do not use harsh cleaners or bleaching agents on top
material, as damage may result.
Do not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down and dry on
the paint, leaving a streak.
After cleaning your vehicle's fabric top, always make
sure it is completely dry before lowering.
Be especially careful when washing the windows by
following the directions for “Care of Fabric Top
Windows.”
Washing – Use Mopar Car Wash or equivalent, or mild
soap suds, lukewarm water, and a brush with soft bristles.
If extra cleaning is required, use Mopar Convertible Cloth
Top Cleaner or equivalent, or a mild foaming cleaner on
the entire top, but support the top from underneath.
Rinsing – Be sure to remove all traces of cleaner by rinsing
the top thoroughly with clean water. Remember to allow
the top to dry before lowering it.
Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic windows which
can be scratched unless special care is taken by following
these directions:
Never use a dry cloth to remove dust. Instead,
use a
microfiber towel or soft cotton cloth moistened with
cold or warm, clean water, and wipe across the
window, not up and down. Mopar Jeep Soft Glass
Window Cleaner or equivalent will safely clean all
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials
such as steel wool or scouring powder that will
scratch metal and painted surfaces.

and decals.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains, or mildew of the top material:
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax build up may
result.
It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to opening it. Operating the top, opening a door or
lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.

ensure sealing. Improper installation can cause
water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
