Care and Maintenance of your New Top
Your top is made of the fi nest materials available. To keep it looking new and for the maximum possible wear, it will need periodic cleaning and maintenance.
Washing: The fabric should be washed often using soap, warm water and a soft
bristle brush. Rinse with clear water to remove all traces of soap.
Zippers: Keeping the zipper cleaned and lubricated with a silicone lubricant will
help prevent damage and keep the zippers in a smooth working condition. If a zipper opens
behind the slider, the slider may have been spread apart. This problem can usually be repaired by using an ordinary pair of pliers to bring the sides back into parallel. Return slider to
the end of the zipper in the normal Open position. Squeeze lightly at fi rst and test the zipper.
If the zipper continues to remain open squeeze more fi rmly with the pliers and try the zipper
again. Repeat this procedure until the zipper operates correctly.
Water: In the event of seeping through the seams, 3M Scotchgard® may be applied on the
inside of the seams to stop the seepage. Rips in the fabric may be repaired with Bondex®
iron on patches. Iron the patches to the Inside of the top, carefully following the Bondex® instructions.
Snaps: Keep snaps cleaned and lubricated with silicone to help prevent snaps from sticking to the studs. If a snap
does become stuck to a stud, use a screwdriver and GENTLY pry apart to prevent permanent damage to the snap
or the top fabric.
