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 wear, it will need periodic cleaning and maintenance.

Washing:

 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 or use Bestop-

recommended Bestop Cleaner and Bestop Protectant.  Bestop Cleaner and Bestop Protectant are specially formulated to provide a total cleaning and protection system.  
Bestop Cleaner will not harm vehicle fi nish, is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.  Bestop Protectant protects against UV-fading, cracking and hardening.

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 or use Bestop-recommended Bestop Vinyl Window Cleaner, which safely cleans and protects vinyl 
windows while helping 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.

Zippers:

 Keeping the zipper cleaned and lubricated with a silicone lubricant will help prevent damage and keep the zippers in a 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.
