In general, regular spraying or cleansing with clear water is sufficient to keep the top clean. Wash the top only when heavily soiled. Light colored soft tops should be cleaned frequently to prevent spots and dirt from setting in, which could stain and discolor the soft top material permanently. Caution! Never use any gasoline, thinner, tar and stain removers, glass cleaner, or similar organic solvents to clean the soft top, plastic window or wind screen. They will cause damage which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Headliner Soft top: Clean with soft bristle brush, or use a dry-shampoo cleaner in case of excessive dirt. Wind screen Use only water or mild detergent to clean the wind screen. Automatic antenna For trouble-free operation of the automatic antenna, we recommend that you clean the antenna mast periodically. Wiper blade Clean the wiper blade rubber with a clean cloth and detergent solution. Note: For safety reasons, remove key from steering lock before cleaning the wiper blade, otherwise the wiper motor can suddenly turn on and cause injury. Headlamp cleaning system The condition of the wiper blades is important for satisfactory cleaning of the headlamp lenses. We therefore recommend that the blades be inspected regularly.
