Caring For Convertible Car Tops

Cars with convertible roofs look great and definitely stand out from other automobile breeds. The only downside is, convertible car tops need a bit more care than normal car roofs. Without proper care, it won't stay that way for a very long time. Here are a few simple steps to make your convertible roofs look clean and attractive at all times:

1. Always make sure that your convertible car top is parked in your garage or in a shady place. Rain and hot weather can deteriorate your top over time, resulting to leaks. Install a high quality and breathable car cover as much as possible.

2. Don't let any debris fold inside when you fold it down and don't fold your convertible too long. Your top will not last long if it has too much grit or tree build up.

3. Check for leaks when you are driving in rain for it can cause rusting. Repair tears or rips as soon as they appear, or they'll get worse. It can stuck anytime so frequently check the hydraulic pump and tubes for leaks or damage.

4. Never put your convertible car tops down when the car is moving. If the rear window is separate from the roof, always collapse the rear window before putting the roof down.

5. Cleaning your convertible car tops is also important. Use the recommended cleaning products for convertible soft tops. Avoid cleaning agents with chemicals and ingredients such as ammonia, bleach, detergent, alcohol and vinegar. Convertible car tops must be cleaned at least two times a year. Wash them in the shade, and never in direct sunlight.
