Advice on care
In order to preserve the properties of the glazed   roof,   we   recommend   wiping   or   cleaning  
t

he   inner   glass   using   a   clean,   soft   and   dry
cloth.
For
  stubborn   stains,   the   glass   should   be  
c

leaned   using   screenwash   fluid,   rinsed   with  
c

lean   water,   then   dried   with   a   clean,   soft   cloth.
Do not use soapy water, abrasive
products,
