Power top
General information
The power top opens and closes automatically .
When open, the power top is stored completely
in the power top compartment. The power top
can be opened or closed at speeds up to 30 mph
(SO km/h).
Under normal conditions, the power top is wind
and waterproof. In rare cases, small droplets of
water may form under extreme weather condi
tions such as torrential or prolonged rain. That is
normal and no cause for concern.
Follow the care instructions to keep the power
top free of leaks and to maintain its appearance
~ page 266, Core and cleaning. Also observe the
following:
- Open and stow the power top only when it is
clean and dry . Sharp-edged dirt particles can
cause damage to the rear window and the pow
er top . Stowing the power top when it is damp
can create imprints in it, and if it is left that
way for long periods of time, mildew and other
damage can form .
- Do not leave the power top open for several weeks or the creases in it may become discol
ored.
- Remove ice and snow before opening the power
top. Do not use any sharp edged objects to re move ice and snow or the power top could be
scratched or damaged . The rear window may be
cleared with a standard ice scraper .
- Do not open the power top when the tempera
ture is below 32 °F (0 °C). The fabric in the
power top loses elasticity in sub-zero tempera
tu res .
