They look like this right now. You can see they are not perfectly lined up. But it is sitting outside in the sun atm. In a couple of hours it will be in the 70s so hopefully it will heat up enough to be pulled more to be aligned right.

Considering there are a couple of finger prints on the windows, I assume soap and water is the best way to clean? I would assume the Invisible Glass I use on the glass is not a good idea for these?

My M.O. is to pre-wet the vinyl windows with water, after which I use a sponge soaked in warm soapy water (press lightly!). After a rinse and a gentle wipe dry with soft cotton -- usually a retired bath towel -- I'll buff the newly cleaned windows with a proprietary polish.

Glass cleaner may not be the best choice. Never touch or rub a dirty window when it's dry, either.

Sounds almost impossible to keep them clean and scratch free lol.

Thanks for the advice.

I use a soft detailing rag and the chemical guys last touch spray detailer for the fingerprints, dog nose, pollen etc. If muddy wash with water first. Mine are by no means scratch free, but its the smiles per gallon or swirls in this case.

I’ll look into that also. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow and all weekend so had to put the windows back in. Sucked I wanted to have more fun with it down lol. Hoping the sun relaxes them back out. Doesn’t look like the bag kept them as nice and flat as they were when I put them in it.
