handle from the locked position. Draw top down over windshield header dowels, and turn top center handle to "LOCKED" position. Never operate top while the car is moving. To keep the mechanism in good condition, operate the top at least once a month. To reduce water stains, mildew or excessive shrinkage of the top material, do not allow the top to dry in folded position after it has been dampened or water soaked. INTERFERENCE WITH TOP OPERATION Interference with the mechanical operation of the top, seat or windows—such as holding or retarding their operation in any way—should be avoided. If top sticks, relieve the point of interference to prevent damage to the top. WHEN TOP IS FOLDED The convertible top when folded MUST be securely strapped down to prevent chafing of the top material; the locking handle must be turned to a "LOCKED" position; then install top boot. Keep the top compartment clean, and do not use it for storage. NOTE: If your car is the Eldorado Special Sport Coupe, instructions for installing the top cover will be found in your glove compartment. CARE OF CONVERTIBLE BACK WINDOW Due to the texture of the plastic rear window in the convertible top, these precautions must be exercised in its cleaning and care: 1. When removing road dust, do not use a dry cloth. Use a soft cotton cloth moistened with water and wipe crosswise. 2. To clean, use cold or tepid (not hot) water and mild (not caustic) neutral soap suds. After washing, rinse with clear water and wipe with a slightly moistened clean soft cloth. Caution: Never use solvents or cleaners of alcoholic or other chemical content. These liquids may possibly have a deteriorating effect on the plastic and, if spilled, might spot the car finish. 3. Caution should be used in removing frost, snow or ice during winter months. DO NOT USE A SCRAPER. LICENSE DATA The engine number, which is also the serial number, is stamped on the car in two places: at the upper right corner on the front face of right-hand cylinder block, numbered at right angles to the crankshaft, and on the right frame sidebar just behind the engine support bracket. The engine number should be used in license and insurance applications and in genera! car reference.
