Care and Maintenance:
Your QuadraTop is made of the finest
materials available but to keep it look-
ing 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 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 nor-
mal Open position. Squeeze lightly at
first and test zipper. If the zipper contin-
ues 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-
moving 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 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 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 lubri-
cated 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.
