52 Convertible Cleaning the rear window The rear window can be cleaned with a window cleaner or a mild soap solution and a soft, anti-static cloth. Since the rear window is made of glass, when necessary, you can use an ice scraper on the outside. Never use a scraper on the inside! Use mild soap, lukewarm water and a sponge for washing. Rinse the top thoroughly with plain water to get rid of all the soap. Flush the cleaning agent off the bodywork as well, since it can cause discoloration if it is left to dry on the paintwork. If further cleaning is needed after soap and water have been used, a mild shampoo may be employed. First rinse the soft top, then use shampoo on the complete top and scrub with a small soft hand brush. Add water as needed until the cleaning agent lathers. Use a rag or sponge to remove dirt, so as to avoid working it into the cloth. Thoroughly rinse the whole car with plain water and make sure that cleaning agents are not allowed to dry on the paintwork. Interior lighting The front light is located on the front roof rail. The rear lighting consists of two lights built in to the side panels adjacent to the rear seat. The switch is on the center console between the front seats, see also page 121. Certain variants have a mirror and lighting built into the sun visors. Wire for manual opening of fuel filler door (Convertible) NOTE After washing, the soft top must be given time to dry completely before being folded down. A wet or damp top that is folded down can be damaged by mold. Manually opening the fuel filler door Convertible If the fuel filler door, controlled by the central lock, does not unlock take the following action: Check fuse 25. If it is defective or blows again after changing, the locking motor can be detached from the flap by pulling a wire. The wire, marked with a yellow arrow at the end, is located in the trunk inside the opening in the upholstery in front of the right-hand rear light. IB861
