Molding Your Corvette’s inside rear window (hatch area) molding is “Dulso” coated. For lightly soiled molding, wipe with a sponge OF a soft lint-free cloth that has been dampened with water. For heavily soiled molding, use warm soapy water. You can recondition molding.showing ‘marks or- scratches by briskIy wiping the area with GM Fabric Cleaner (solvent type). Don’t use too much .cleaner. If a- ring forms, immediately repeat the cleaning procedure over a slightly larggr area, “feathering” toward the center of the ring. If-the ring still remains, wipe the entire molding.

Glass Glass should be cleaned often. GM GIass Cleaner (GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films. Don't use abrasive cleaners .on glass, because they may cause scratches. Avoid placing decals on the inside rear window, since they may have to be scraped off later. If abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear window, m electric defogger element may be damaged. Any temporary license should not be attached across the defogger grid.

Cleaning the Outside. of the Windshield and Wiper Blades If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when rmnirxg, wax or other material may be on the blade or windshield. Clean the outside of the windshield with GM Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM Part No. lO5OOll). The windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse it with water. Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade with water.

Automatic Vehicle Washes

Cleaning the Outside of Your Corvette The paint finish on your vehicle provides beauty, depth of color, gloss retention and durability. Washing Your Vehicle The best way to preserve your vehicle’s finish is to keep it clean by washing it often with lulcwarm or cold water.

Don’t wash your vehicle in the direct rays of the sun. Don’t use strong soaps or chemical detergents. Use liquid hand, dish or car washing (non-detergent) soaps. Don’t use cleaning agents that contain acid or abrasives. All cleaning agents should be flushed promptly and not allowed to dry on the surface, or they could stain. Dry the finish with a soft, clean chamois or a 100% cotton towel to avoid surface scratches and water spotting. High pressure vehicle washes may cause water to enter your vehicle.

c

Cleaning Your Removable Roof Panel If your Corvette is equipped with the transparent removable -roof panel option, the panel is made of acrylic plastic with a special hard coat to help resist abrasion. Special care is necessary when cleaning, removing and/or storing the roof panel.

Flush off dust and dirt with water, then dry the panel. Clean the panel with GM Glass Cleaner. Leave the cleaner on the pard for one minute, then h p e the panel with a soft, lint-free cloth. Don't use abrasive cleaning ..materials.

Cleaning Your Convertible Top Hand washing your Corvette's convertible t.op is highly recommended and the most preferred-method of cleaning. Although most automatic vehicle washes will not harm the top's fabric, vehicle washes mtith water jets and hanging cloths are preferred to those using heavy barrel brushes. Carefully vacuuming the convertible top before washing will help rem'ove excess dust and other foreign particlesi Wash the vehicle in partial shade rather than direct sunlight. U-se a sponge to wet the entire vihicle with a 1uluiwa-m mild soap solution. Using a- chamois or cloth will leave lint -on the top and using a brush may abrade the threads in the top's material. Wash the top uniformly to avoid spots or rings. Let the soap solution remain on fabric fur two to five minutes.

Service & Appearance Care

Care of Your Convertible's Rear Window Your convertible top has a plastic rear window. It will bend, and that means it can be stored easily when you want to put the top down. However, like all such windows, it can show scratches. Special care is n the rear windc

If you put things on your plastic rear window-things like stickers, labels, decils, or masking tape-they can be really hard to take off the plastic, and you can easily scratch it while you’re trylng to get them off.

Service & Appearance Care

Hardtop Care Your optional hardtop has the same durable finish as the painted surfaces of your Corvette. Your hardtop may be cleaned, polished and waxed. If your hardtop is stored for an extended period, keep it covered in a dry place. Also, avoid the build-up of dust and dirt before storage or installation. Apply silicone grease or ArmorAll@ to all hardtop weatherstrips.

Finish Care Occasional waxing or mild polishing of your Corvette may be necessary to remove residue from the paint finish. You can get GM approved cleaning products from your dealer. (See the Index under Appearance Care. ) Your Corvette has a "basecoat/ clearcoat" paint finish. The clearcoat gives more depth and gloss to the colored basecoat.

Aluminum Wheels Your aluminum wheels have a :protective coating similar to the pa-inted surface of your Corvette. Don't use- strong soaps, chemicals, chrome polish, or other abrasive cleaners on them becmse you could damage this coating. After rinsing thoroughly, .a wax may be applied.

Weathersfrips, These are places where glass .or metal meets rubber. Silicone grease there will ma&e them last longeri sed better, and not squeak. Apply &cone grease with a clean cloth at least every six months,

Maintenance Schedule Introduction

A Word About Maintenance We at General Motors want to help you keep your vehicle in good working condition. But we don’t know exactly how you’ll drive it. You may drive very short distances only a few times a week. Or you may drive long distances all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You may use your vehicle in making deliveries. Or you may .drive it errands or in many other ways. Because of all the different ways people use their GM vehicles, maintenance needs vary. You may even need more frequent che~ks and replacements than you will find in the schedules in this part. So please read this part and note how you drive. If you have any questions on how to keep your vehicle in good condition, see your Chevrolet dealer, the place many GM owners choose to have their maintenance work done. Your dealer c q be relied upon to use proper parts and practices.

to work, to do

Your Vehicle and the Environment Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps to keep your vehicle in good woxking condition, but also helps the environment. All recommended maintenance procedures are important. Improper vehicle maintenance or the removal of important components can significantly affect the quality of the air we breathe. Improper fluid levels or even the wrong tire inflation can increase the level of emissions from your vehicIe. To help protect our environment, and to help keep your vehicle in good condition, please maintain your vehicle. properly.
