Does the convertible top require any additional maintenance?

I looked through the manual and it doesn't specify. But do I need to apply anything to it? Like a vinyl conditioner every year or something? I've seen some convertibles with some raggy beat up tops... Just trying to avoid it if possible.

The tops are 'fabric' not vinyl. I use Raggtopp cleaner and treatment on mine. You can get it from autogeek.net and a couple of other places.

Also, don't put the top down if it is wet or moist.

Ah, good point. It would get moldy! Thanks for the pointers. Any more ideas let me know.

I use Raggtopp Cleaner and Protectant on mine. Works great. Also will extends the life of the top and seals the fabric.
So far happy with the product.
