Care and Maintenance of your Emergency Top
Your Emergency 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 or use Bestop-recommended Bestop Cleaner and Bestop Protectant. Bestop Cleaner
and Bestop Protectant are specially formulated to provide a total cleaning and protection system. Bestop Cleaner will
not harm vehicle fi nish, is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Bestop Protectant protects against UV-fading,
cracking and hardening.
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: Seeping through at the seams may be stopped by applying 3-M Scotchgard® on the
inside of the seams. 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.
