Care and Maintenance of your MasterTop
®
Product:
Your MasterTop Replacement Top is made of the finest materials available but to keep it looking new and for the
maximum possible wear, it will need periodic cleaning and basic maintenance. The main threat to your soft top is
pollutants, dirt and grime. By keeping your top clean you will prolong the life of your top.
We recommend the following to keep your top like new: (if applicable)
Washing:
The soft top fabric should be washed often using a mild soap, warm water and a soft bristle brush. You can also use
special soft top cleaners available on our Distributors websites. Make sure that after cleaning you rinse with clear
water to remove all traces of soap to avoid residue.
Water/Fabric:
In the event of seeping through the seams, 3M Scotchgard® may be applied on the inside of the seams to stop the
seeping. 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.
Windows:
It is very important that you keep your Soft Top windows clean! Use a mild soap and water solution to gently clean
your windows. NEVER wipe your windows clean with a dry cloth! Dust and dirt on a dry cloth can scratch your win-
dows causing “fogging” and permanent damage. When removing your windows, store them with a towel. If frost or
ice forms on the outside of your windows during the winter, DO NOT use an ice scraper to remove this frost. Over
time you will see small micro scratches in your windows which are natural wear and tear. These Micro scratches
can be “polished” out using the window polish available at your MasterTop Distributor.
Zippers:
Keeping the zipper cleaned and lubricated with a silicone lubricant (available online) will help prevent damage and
keep the zippers in a smooth working condition. If zipper opens behind the slider, the slider may have been spread
apart. This problem can usually be fixed 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 zipper. If the zipper
continues to remain open squeeze more firmly with pliers and try the zipper again. Repeat procedure until your zipper
operates correctly.
