BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and
rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding doors, and
hood hinges should be lubricated periodically with
a lithium-based grease, such as Mopar® Spray
White Lube, to ensure quiet, easy operation and to
protect against rust and wear. Prior to the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned
should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit.
After lubricating, excess oil and grease should be
removed. Particular attention should also be given
to hood latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other underhood
services, the hood latch, release mechanism and
safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Autumn and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as Mopar® Lock Cylinder Lubricant, directly
into the lock cylinder.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove
accumulations of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice
from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of
contact with petroleum products such as engine
oil, gasoline, etc.
CAUTION!
The cabin air filter is identified with an arrow to
indicate airflow direction through the filter.
Failure to properly install the filter will result in
the need to replace it more often.

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 that 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 moist -
ened 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 the plastic windows without
scratching. It removes fine scratches to improve
visibility and provides UV protection to help
prevent yellowing.
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.
Use care when washing the vehicle, water
pressure directed at the weather strip seals
may cause water to leak into the vehicle’s
interior.
Careless handling and storage of the remov -
able roof panels may damage the seals,
causing water to leak into the vehicle’s inte -
rior.
The front panel(s) must be positioned properly
to ensure sealing. Improper installation can
cause water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle
under trees; remove vegetable resins immedi -
ately as, when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as they
could alter the typical opaqueness of the
paint.
Do not use pure windshield washer fluid for
cleaning the front windshield and rear
window; dilute it to a minimum of 50% water.
Only use pure windshield washer fluid when
strictly necessary due to outside temperature
conditions.
CAUTION!
