cleaner when removing dirt from the soft
top.
! Never clean the soft top using a power
washer, as water could get into the inside
of the vehicle.

! Only clean the retractable soft top and
the rear soft top when they are closed.
Dry cleaning
Brush the soft top fabric with a soft
X
brush, always working in the same direc-
tion, i.e. from front to back.
