IMPORTANT NOTICES
Trailerable ONLY with a FULL Front windshield AND Roof - or damage can occur!
Due to extreme wind turbulence, towing on an open trailer pulled by a motor home, bus or
other large size vehicle at highway speeds is NOT recommended.
CAUTION
Limited Towing at lower speeds (60mph or less) for shorter distances is acceptable with a
FULL Front Windshield AND Roof ONLY. Prolonged towing at highway speeds on an
Open trailer is NOT recommended and can cause damage that is NOT covered under
Warranty. Whenever towing anytime, it is mandatory to check all windshield hardware
BEFORE towing and at frequent intervals afterwards!
SPIKE suggests removal of Rear Windshields if towed in any conditions that are NOT
recommended - removal will also create less drag on the tow vehicle
2. Maintenance and Care
Tighten all hardware after first use and periodically thereafter.
CLEANING:
▪Rinse with lukewarm water; wash gently with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water, using a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT SCRUB
or use brushes or squeegees.
▪Rinse again. Dry with soft cloth or moist cellulose sponge to prevent water spotting.
▪To remove wet paint, glazing compound or grease, rub lightly with a good grade of VM&P naphtha or isopropyl alcohol, then wash and
rinse. DO NOT USE GASOLINE.
NOTICE: Abusive cleaning procedures by hand washing or automated washing equipment will eventually result in visual hazing, loss of
light transmission and coating delamination.
