Removal Procedure

Special care is necessary when cleaning, removing, and/or storing.

• Flush with water to remove dust and dirt, then dry the panel.
• Clean a transparent panel with GM Glass Cleaner. Leave the cleaner on the panel for one minute, then wipe the panel with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use glass cleaner on a painted panel.
• Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on either type of panel.

If water drops are frequently allowed to dry on the panel, impurities in the water will adhere to the window. These impurities may etch or mar the finish. When the panel gets wet, dry it off.

NOTE:
• To avoid damage to painted surfaces, hood window removal is best performed from the underside of hood.
• When replacing the hood window it is necessary to replace the window seal.
• Before cutting out the hood window, apply a double layer of masking tape around the perimeter of the painted surfaces.
