Cleaning the Convertible Top
The convertible top should be
cleaned often. However, high
pressure car washes may cause
water to enter the vehicle.
When hand washing the convertible
top, do it in partial shade. Use a
mild soap, lukewarm water, and a
soft sponge. A chamois or cloth may
leave lint on the top, and a brush
can chafe the threads in the top
fabric. Do not use detergents, harsh
cleaners, solvents, or bleaching
agents.
Wet the entire vehicle and wash the
top evenly to avoid spots or rings.
Let the soap remain on the fabric
for a few minutes. When the top is
really dirty, use a mild foam-type
cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the entire
vehicle, then let the top dry in direct
sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
After washing the vehicle,
make sure the convertible top is
completely dry before lowering it.
Do not get any cleaner on the
vehicle's painted finish; it could
leave streaks.
If go through an automatic car
wash, ask the manager if the
equipment could damage the
convertible top.
