Care and Maintenance of your Bestop Top
Your top is made of the finest materials available. To keep it looking new and for the
maximum possible wear, it will need periodic cleaning and maintenance.
Washing: The top fabric should be washed often using soap, warm water and a soft
bristle brush. Rinse with clear water to remove all traces of soap.
Windows: Keep windows clean to avoid scratching. DO NOT use a brush on the
windows! Wash with a watersoaked cloth or sponge and a mild dishwashing deter-
gent. NEVER WIPE THE WINDOWS WHEN THEY ARE DRY. Be careful when cleaning
snow or frost from the vinyl windows since they are easily scratched and may crack at
low temperatures. DO NOT roll the sides or rear window in cold weather. The windows
become stiff and will crack.
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 first and test the zipper. If
the zipper continues to remain open
squeeze more firmly 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.
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.
