Windshield Cleaning Procedures – 2012-2016 Ford & Lincoln

2012-2016 Multiple Vehicles- Windshield Cleaning Procedures

2012-2016 vehicles can exhibit windshield contamination from car wash chemicals and environmental fallout such as tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs.

 

This contamination can appear to be a defect in glass and can occur on the exterior or interior surface of the windshield.

Glass replacement is not necessary for these conditions.

Owner Guides are in process of being updated with the following windshield cleaning procedures.

Clean the windshield with a non-abrasive glass cleaner. When cleaning the interior of the windshield, avoid getting any glass cleaner on the instrument panel or door panels.

Wipe any glass cleaner off these surfaces immediately.

If contamination still exists use steel wool (no greater than 0000 grade to avoid scratching) in a circular motion and rinse with water.
