Once your soft top is clean and completely dry, the important last step is to protect the surface from water ingress, colour fade as a result of UV rays and staining from environmental fallout. Most sealants will re-weatherproof and offer UV protection in one product. Most products are not harmful to trim or windows, but if in doubt use detailing masking tape to protect any sensitive areas.
Equipment:
- Cabriolet water proofer / fabric sealant
- Detailing masking tape (optional)
Method:
- Step 1 – Ensure fabric soft top is completely dry
- Step 2 – Apply water proofer / fabric sealant liberally, ensuring complete coverage, right up to the edges of the soft top
- Step 3 – Allow to dry according to the manufacturers instructions listed on the product
- Step 4 – A second application may be required depending on the product used
