Care for convertible tops
- Never try to put your top up or down while your vehicle is moving. This is possible with most older cars
- Do not take your convertible through automatic car washes.
- Do not lock your car doors. If a thief wants into your car, they will just cut your convertible top.
- Never put speaker boxes or any other objects in the area the top goes down into. This will cause your back window to break.
- Do not leave your top down for extended periods of time. It is not good for your top and causes fold marks and/or shrinkage.
- It is best not to loan your convertible to anyone. We often see problems that were not there until the cutomer loaned their car out.
