Cleaning the conv top cap

You know, the part that's under the rear window when the top is up. You can't spray it too well when the top is down. It;s kind of dirty now, ans I'm afraid to touch it...scratch the paint up.

Re: Cleaning the conv top cap

When your top is 1/2 way open (or closed!) stop.

Do your cleaning.

Continue with top placement.

You have ~ 10 minutes before the hydraulics will let go.

Re: Cleaning the conv top cap

I clean and wax that lid same as I do the rest of the exterior:

Dish soap wash
Claybar
Wax

... I do this twice a year.

Thanx, that works great. Still weird to spray it and keep the interior dry.
