Care and Maintenance of your Bestop Product

Your Bestop product 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.

Fabric:

 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.  Bestop recommends using Bestop Cleaner (part no. 

11201-00) and Bestop Protectant (part no. 11202-00) Bestop Cleaner and Bestop protectant are specially formulated to provide a total cleaning and protection system. Bestop Cleaner safely removes 

the toughest stains, will not harm vehicle finishes, is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.  Bestop Protectant protects against UV-fading, cracking and hardening, and repels dust, grease, dirt and 

mildew. 

Windows:

 Keep windows clean to avoid scratching.  DO NOT use a brush on the windows! Wash with a water-soaked cloth or sponge and a mild dishwashing detergent.  Bestop recommends Bestop 

Vinyl Window Cleaner (part no. 11203-00), which safely cleans and protects vinyl windows and helps prevent UV damage. 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. Cracks caused by misuse in cold temperatures are not covered under warranty. 

Zippers:

 Keeping zippers cleaned and lubricated with Bestop’s Zipper Cleaner (part no. 11206-00) will help prevent damage and keep the 

zippers in 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.

Damaged Slider - 

Jaws Spread Apart 

(sometimes broken)

Normal Slider - 

Jaws Parallel
