Cleaning Glass Surfaces
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner (GM
Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass cleaner
will
remove normal tobacco smoke and dust films on
interior glass.
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, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Any temporary license should not be attached across
the
defogger grid.

and
Wiper Blades

Clean the outside of the windshield with
GM

windshield is clean if beads do not form when you rinse

vigorously with
a cloth soaked in full-strength
windshield washer solvent. Then rinse the blade

the wiper blades and clean them as necessary;
replace blades that
look worn.
Weatherstrips
Silicone grease on weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with
a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.)
