Care and Maintenance of your Bestop Product
Your Bestop product is made of the fi nest materials available. To keep it looking new and for the maximum possible life, 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 Twill Protectant
(part no. 11207-00) which are specially formulated to provide a total
cleaning and protection system.
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
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.
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.
