Wind Deflector, Cleaning

-- Remove any dirt deposits using, for example, the Wet and Dry Vacuum.

NOTE:

To remove stuck insects and particles from the net and from the wind deflector frame, use a sponge and soapy water.

Soapy water mixture ratio: 3 drops of soap to every 1 liter of water

CAUTION:

Do not use commercially available insect removers or other solvents as these products were not tested and approved.

-- Remove loose insects and particles using a vacuum cleaner and a suitable vacuum tip.

CAUTION:

Use a vacuum tip that would be appropriate for the wind deflector so that the net does not get damaged.

Make sure that no dirt falls into the vehicle interior when performing this procedure.
