Installing the Top Boot
Remove the boot which is normally
stored in a plastic bag in the rear com-
partment. The forward end of the boot
on Camaro styles is installed by sliding
the Hap behind the rear seat back. The
forward end of the boot on Chevelle
models is installed by grasping the
end and sliding the welt on
the boot into the retainer located on
the top of the rear seat back panel.
On Chevelle and Camaro models, the
boot is then placed over the lowered
top and the metal snap fasteners on
the boot are snapped onto the studs
on the quarter trim. On the Camaro.
the plastic snaps on the boot are
snapped over the belt molding by first
engaging the large lip of the plastic
clip onto the molding and then snap-
ping down the smaller lip of the clip.
On the Chevelle, the rear and sides
of the boot is secured by starting at
the center and pulling the boot away
from the belt molding and sliding the
plastic retainer under the belt molding.
Care of Folding Top
and
Rear Window
The folding top
should never be
subjected to volatile cleaners or
household bleaches.
Frequent wash-
ing with neutral soap suds, lukewarm
water and a soft bristle brush is nor-
mally all that is necessary to maintain
the "Factory Fresh" look. In the event
heavy soilage or stubborn stains are
encountered, a mild foaming cleanser,
lukewarm Water and a soft bristle
brush may be used. If desired, the
top may be supported from the under-
side
during the
cleaning operation.
Regardless which cleaning method is
used, a
generous amount
of rinse
water is to be used, as any soap that
may have run down on the body finish
may causes streaks if dlowed to dry.
After cleaning the top, be certain
the top is thoroughly dry before it is
lowered.
The rear window in the back cur-
tain on Chevelle models may be
cleaned in the
same
manner as all
body glass. However, volatile cleaning
agents should be avoided as these
liquids could have a deteriorating
46
eifect if spilled on the back curtain
material or any paint finish.
On
Camaro models,
the pliable
plastic window, due to its texture, is
susceptible to scratches and abrasions.
As a result, the top should not be
lowered when the
rear window is
dirty.
When cleaning the rear plastic win-
dow, do not use a dry cloth or volatile
cleaning agents.
A soft cloth mois-
tened with Water should be used to
remove superficial dust.
When com-
pletely washing the rear window, cold
or lukewarm water and a mild neutral
soap suds may be used along with a
generous amount of rinse water. In
addition, the rear window can be
cleaned with G.M. Plastic Cleaner
available at your dealer.
A scraper should never be used for
removing snow or ice from the rear
window. I n an emergency, warm
Water may be cautiously used.
