NOTICE Do not put any heavy items on the folded convertible top. You could damage the material and the mechanism.
Maintenance Dust is the main cause of creaks or other sounds coming from the convertible top.
Regularly clean the body seals with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use a scraper or de-icing chemicals to remove frost, snow, or ice from the top or the rear window.
Every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often the top is folded, rub a thin film of Shin-Etsu Silicon Grease (available from your dealer, P/N 08798-9013) onto the seals wherever they touch the convertible top or each other.

Convertible Top, Mirrors
To reduce the possibility of leaks: • Do not lean or sit on an open door. • Do not push or pull the door glass to open and close the door. • The convertible top seals are designed to promote the flow of water off the roof. Spraying high-pressure water directly on the seals can distort them, causing a leak. Use only a low-pressure water stream when using a hose, and avoid commercial car washes.
Mirrors
Keep the inside and outside mirrors clean and adjusted for best visibility. Be sure to adjust the mirrors before you start driving.
The inside mirror has day and night positions. The night position reduces glare from headlights behind you. Flip the tab on the bottom edge of the mirror to select the day or night position.
Adjusting the Power Mirrors
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
- Move the selector switch to L (driver’s side) or R (passenger’s side).
- Push the appropriate edge of the adjustment switch to move the mirror right, left, up, or down.
