 A unique set of care challenges come with your convertible top. Fabric, clear plastic and vinyl are far more delicate and vulnerable to UV radiation, acid rain, and the elements than painted surfaces. They must be protected, can be difficult to keep clean or clear, and finding a good quality product can be a challenge.
This section applies not only to automotive convertible tops, but any bimini top, marine and patio seat cushions, or RV awning—as they all face the same ravaging effects of over-exposure. Having a few of these in my collection, I know the frustration that one may feel in obtaining good information on how to properly care for fabric, plastic and vinyl that are constantly barraged with UV rays, wind, rain, humidity, pollution and a number of stressors that threaten the strength, integrity and beauty of these somewhat fragile surfaces.
