convertible top care... - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #22048 4 posts Started by 2003cbgts
what do you guys recommend for convert. top care? anything that will waterproof it or anything? any tips? how are you guys tops holding up?
Put it up and down infrequently. For example, in the summer, when I drive home from work with the top down, I dont put it up at night and will go to work the next morning with it down. Of course, I put it up when I am at work but not putting it up at night saves one up and down motion on wear.

As for condition, I have a rub spot on each side of the rear window (near the top) which is fairly common. Other than that, my top is in great shape. I usually wash it without soap.

i jsut got the car and washed it with the meguiars nxt car wash that i always use. ive never had a convert before and i just worry bout it leaking and messin up the interior
I got some wierd spots on mine. I tried scrubbing them off witha nn oxy-cleaner, and some of it came off. Its like a mold, and when I bought the top, it came with them. I bought a complete top and frame off ebay, because mine was cracked.
