Washing convertible top
General cleaning—
Follow the procedure shown below. 1. Brush off any loose dirt and rinse off with a hose.
2. Using a sponge, wash with a mild solu- tion of soap (hand soap) in lukewarm
water (below 38 C or 100 F).
3. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap.
NOTICE
 Do not use harsh or abrasive clean-
ers as they may damage the top
material.
 Do not use waterrepellents, wax or
other preservative finishes as they
may stain the top material.
Additional cleaning (for more difficult
stains)—
Follow the procedure shown below using
a mild cleaning solution composed of the
following ingredient.
110 g (4 oz.) of chlorine bleach
60 g (2 oz.) of soap (hand soap)
3.8 L (1.0 gal., 0.8 Imp. gal.) of luke-
warm water (below 38 C or 100 F)
1. Rinse the top, then spread the mild cleaning solution on the entire top. Do
not put excessive amounts of liquid on
the fabric.
2. Scrub with a small, soft bristle hand −
brush. Add water as needed until the
cleaner becomes soapy. Allow solution
to settle for two to five minutes. Use
a cloth or sponge to remove dirt so it
will not be ground into the top. Be
careful not to allow any cleaner to dry
on the body paint as it may cause
streaks. 3. Rinse thoroughly.
If any dirt is left, repeat the procedure.
After the top has been cleaned, rinse the
vehicle with clean water to remove all the
cleaner.
After cleaning, always make sure the top
is completely dry before you lower it. Low-
ering the top while wet or damp may
cause interior water damage, water stains
