Avoiding soft-top damage
R

are corrosive and can therefore cause the
soft-top fabric to leak.
R

remove ice and snow.
Frequent cleaning reduces the soft top's resist‐
ance to dirt. To restore the effect, clean the soft
top with the soft-top cleaning agents recommen‐
ded and approved for Mercedes-Benz.
Incorrect cleaning and care, as well as aging,
can cause the soft-top seams to leak. If this hap‐
pens, have the soft-top seams sealed at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop, e.g. at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
% Place a suitable cover over the soft top if you
plan to leave the vehicle outside for a long
period of time.
