Just picked up a Honda signature accessories fabric mid panel with the vinyl window for my 1000-5 and was curious what I should use to clean the dust and dirt off the clear vinyl window that won’t scratch it up or make it cloudy?

I use a few drops of dish soap and warm water.

I'd add to @Russ989 that you should rinse as much of the dirt off as possible before washing to prevent it (dirt) from becoming a grit you rub against the vinyl. I'd use a natural sponge or a microfiber towel with the soap.

I agree with the advice above. The manufacturers guidance I've seen prohibits use of glass cleaner such as Windex. Soft cloth, mild soap, and water is recommended.

i use the same mixture that i use on my windshield.a couple drops of dish soap and water in a squirt bottle.it also helps to lube up the zippers when they are caked in dirt and i want to unzip out on the trail.

How well does it seal up? Went moose hunting last weekend in my buddy's 1000 and every water hole we hit fogged the windsheild!

They seal up pretty good, I have the soft doors as well. Nothing to write home about but better than nothing.

you definitely don't want it sealed up of you're hitting water holes. you want it unzipped and rolled up.

What Stateboy said.

To add a bit to the cleaning instructions, from one who has cleaned a few $10K glider canopies, it is always best to flush the surface with water first to wash off loose dirt and grit. Never use a dry cloth (even if it's microfiber) on a dry surface.
