Cleaning glass and rubber seals (BMW X5 E53)

Cleaning the glass involves wiping it from the outside and inside with a clean, soft chamois or rag. In case of heavy contamination, alcohol, ammonia and warm water or special glass cleaning products help. Before cleaning the windshield, fold the windshield wiper arms forward. At the same time as wiping the windshield, maintain the windshield wiper blades.

Caution! When using silicone-containing glass cleaners, do not use brushes, sponges, pieces of chamois leather or rags that were previously used to clean painted surfaces of the car body. When spraying silicone-based paint care products, cover the glass with a cardboard or other waterproof shield.

It is strictly forbidden to use solvents such as nitro thinners, cold cleaning agents or gasoline, especially for the rear window of the car body, which has a heating element.

Caring for rubber seals

Maintenance of rubber seals consists of sprinkling talc or covering the sealing and sliding surfaces with aerosol silicone preparations, which maintains the elasticity of rubber products. This also eliminates creaking and grinding when closing doors. Such noise can also be eliminated by rubbing the surface with soap grease.
