Cleaning the Convertible Top
The convertible top should be cleaned often.
Do not use high-pressure car washes as
these may cause water to enter the vehicle.
Hand wash the convertible top in partial
shade. Use mild soap, lukewarm water, and
a soft sponge. A chamois or cloth may leave
lint on the top, and a brush can chafe the
threads in the top fabric. Do not use
detergents, harsh cleaners, solvents,
or bleaching agents.
Wet the entire top and let the soap remain
on the fabric for a few minutes. Wash
evenly to avoid spots or rings. When the
top is very dirty, use a mild foam-type
cleaner. Thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle,
then let the top dry in direct sunlight.
To protect the convertible top:
.Make sure the convertible top is
completely dry before lowering it.
.Do not get any cleaner on the vehicle's
painted finish; it could leave streaks.
