Rinse with clean water.
R

R
soiling
Clean stains and other dirt with a brush and soft-top
R
cleaning agents recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Always brush from front to back in the direction of the
R
fabric.
Frequent cleaning reduces the soft top's resist‐
ance to dirt. To restore the effect, clean the soft
top with the care products and cleaning agents
recommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Incorrect cleaning and care, as well as ageing,
can cause the soft-top seams to leak. Have the
soft-top seams sealed at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. at your Mercedes-Benz service
centre.
%
Place a suitable cover over the soft top if you
plan to leave the vehicle outside for a long
period of time.
Avoiding soft-top damage
Never use petrol, thinners, tar remover or stain remover
R
or other organic solvents.
Remove bird droppings immediately, as they are corrosive
R
and can therefore cause the soft-top fabric to leak.
Never use a high-pressure cleaner.
R
Do not use sharp-edged equipment to remove ice and
R
snow.
