Plastic Lense Caution with Isopropyl Alcohol

Something to be aware of when cleaning headlights, brake lights and markers.......

Lights - Plastic Lens Isopropyl Alcohol Caution
Classification:
BF87-013

Reference:
TS87-064

Date:
April 20, 1987

ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL CAUTION ALL MODELS

APPLIED VEHICLES(S):
All Models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Isopropyl alcohol solution used for general cleaning and for preparing the vehicle surface for graphics installation will cause the plastic lenses on turn signal lights, side marker lights, corning lights, tail lights, etc., to crack.

Extreme care must be used to avoid all contact of isopropyl alcohol with any plastic lens (surface).

^ The isopropyl alcohol solution must not drip onto any plastic lens.

^ During cleaning of the vehicle, a wiping cloth soaked with alcohol solution must not contact any plastic lens.

^ During application of the urethane XE/SE Truck graphics, alcohol solution spray mist (used as the wetting solution) must not contact any plastic lens.
