Power  top 
General  information 
The  power  top  opens  and  closes  automat ica lly . 
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  ext reme  weather  condi
tions  such  as  torrential  or  prolonged  rain.  That  is  normal  and  no  cause  for  conc ern . 
F ollow  the  care  instruct ions  to keep  the  power 
top  free  of  leaks  and  to  maintain  its  appearance 
9 page 266, Care and  cleaning . Also observe  the 
following: 
- Open  and  stow  the  power  top  only when  it  is  
clean  and  dry . 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,  mi ldew  and 
other  damage  can  fo rm . T o  prevent  scratch ing 
or  damaging  the  power  top,  do  not  use  any 
sharp-edged  objects  to  remove  ice and  snow . 
The  rear  window  may  be  cleared  w ith  a  stand 
ard  ice scraper . 
- Do not  leave  the  power  top  open  for  several 
weeks  or  the  creases  in it  may  become  discol ored . 
- Do not  open  the  power  top  when  the  tempera 
ture  is below  32  °F (0 °C) . The fabric  in the 
power  top  loses  elast icity in s ub-zero  tempe ra
tu res .
