CAUTION - CLEANING (exposed polycarbonate only)

The interior facing side of this transparency is polycarbonate. Although the surface has been treated with an abrasion resistant coating, failure to follow the handling and cleaning procedures that are recommended by Saint-Gobain Sully may result in damage to the window.
Furthermore, this transparency may have exposed painted glass (black print) surfaces. Should this be the case, the exposed painted surfaces must be treated with the same care that is given to the interior polycarbonate surface.

• Do not allow any sharp, rough or hard objects to come in to contact with the window. Remove all jewelry such as rings, watches and necklaces before handling. In Addition, cover belt buckles, zippers, buttons and any other item of personal attire that could cause damage.
• This product, when shipped, has a protective film on the polycarbonate surface. When installing the window, peal back the film from the edges only enough so that the frame, gaskets or other hardware does not covered the film. Do not fully remove the protective film until installation is completed.
• Clean the glass surface using a commercially available glass cleaner and a soft, clean cloth or paper-towel. The glass surface can also be cleaned and rinsed using a pressure spay.
• Clean the polycarbonate and painted surfaces with a water solution of mild soap or a glass cleaner such as Windex or Glass Plus. Wipe lightly with a new sponge, soft cloth or a chamois. If necessary, rinse with a second sponge or soft cloth soaked with water.
• Dry the exposed polycarbonate or painted surfaces by lightly wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Use straight strokes starting at top of windshield and work toward the bottom.
• Never use a dry or dirty sponge or cloth on the polycarbonate or painted surfaces.
• Do not clean with products including, but not limited to, Ammonia, Lacquer thinner, Methanol, Acetone, Gasoline or Turpentine. Contact the customer service department at Saint-Gobain Sully if you have any concerns with your in house handling and cleaning methods.

CAUTION - BONDING AND COMPATIBILITY (all laminates containing polycarbonate)

• Certain sealants and adhesives may not be compatible with the polycarbonate material. Crazing of polycarbonate may result when improper adhesive or sealant materials are in contact with, or close to the polycarbonate, edges and surfaces included. Edge sealants applied by Saint-Gobain Sully on glass edges are not a protection against non-compatible sealants and adhesives. As a consequence, avoid any direct contact between the gluing sealant and the polycarbonate.
• Mirror buttons or other attachments to the polycarbonate must be made by trained fabrication at Saint-Gobain Sully. Warranties are voided if attachments are made by persons other than employees of Saint-Gobain Sully.
