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 detergent.
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 curtain 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. ron 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.
