Power top
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
