Notes on the soft top system

To avoid damage to the soft top system,
please read the following notes.
Protecting the soft top when loading the
car
There is a spring loaded plastic strip
for protecting the soft top fitted in the
rear luggage compartment.
Do not place any objects in front of the
plastic strip. The soft top could jam
and become damaged.
When the soft top is open, the vertical
position of the plastic strip prevents
loads from making contact with the soft
top.
When the soft top is closed, the plastic
strip is folded down horizontally by
items of luggage lying on it. In this
case, the sunroof top cannot be opened.
When transporting long objects inside
the car, make sure that they do not
press against the soft top when it is
closed.
When loading, make sure that no sharp
objects come into contact with the soft
top.
Do not place any pointed, sharp edged,
hot (above 80 °C), incandescent or
burning objects on the soft top's
canvas.
Protection when performing care
measures
Do not apply wax to the soft top fabric;
always select wax free washing
programmes when using an automatic
car wash.
Do not allow the surface of the soft top
to come into contact with lyes or acids.
The soft top may not be opened or
stored when wet. Doing so may
introduce water into the interior of
the vehicle or lead to mould spots on
the fabric.
Notes on the soft top system
General protection of the soft top system
Do not block the soft top system's
locking apertures.
Only stow the side rails and hardtop
halves in the designated storage space
in the front and rear luggage
compartments.
Ensure that the side rails are always
fully locked before you operate the soft
top.
Pay attention that no small objects or
coarse dirt are caught in the soft top
runner tracks (clean as necessary).
