Care and Maintenance:
Your QuadraTop 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 threats to your
soft top are pollutants, dirt and grime.
By keeping your soft top clean you will
prolong the life of your top.
We recommend the following to keep
your top like new:
Washing:
The soft top fabric should be
washed often using a mild soap, warm
water and a soft bristle brush (do not use
the brush on the window glass!). You
can also use special soft top clean- ers
available on our website and shown on
page 15. Make sure that after clean- ing
you rinse with clear water to remove all
traces of soap.
Zippers:
Keeping the zipper cleaned
and lubricated with a silicone lubricant
(see Page 15) will help prevent damage
and keep the zippers in a smooth work
-
ing 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 posi
-
tion. 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.
Windows:
It is very important that you keep
your QuadraTop 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 windows causing “fog- ging”
and permanent damage. When re- mov-
ing your windows, store them with a towel
between the panels/rear win- dows to protect
them from damage. If frost or ice forms on
the outside of your windows during the win
-
ter, 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 listed
on page 15 (Available at Quadratec.com).
Water/Fabric:
In the event of seeping
through the seams, 3M Scotchgard® may
be applied on the inside of the seams to stop
the see. 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 GEN
-
TLY pry apart to prevent permanent damage
to the snap or the top fabric.
