Use commercially available window cleaning solutions to clean the windows.Remove the rear window by lifting the latch and sliding the window to the full open position. Lift the window out of track to remove.Cleaning Plastic Windows
The cab may be provided with plastic windows at the rear and both sides. They are shatter resistant, and reduce the need for vandalism protection.Hairline scratches and minor abrasions can be removed, or minimized, by using a mild automotive or commercial wax. A thin, even coat of wax, polished by hand with a clean cloth, will help prevent further scratching.
Care must be taken when cleaning these windows to prevent damage to the plastic. Never use gasoline, benzine, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher fluid, anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner, acids, alkali, or glass cleaner to clean the plastic. These materials will attack the plastic and may cause it to weaken or break. Do not use abrasive cleaners.Do not use scraper blades or other sharp instruments. Do not rub plastic with dry cloth since this builds up a static charge that attracts dust.
