Waterproofing the soft top
Use specific waterproofing products for
fabric soft tops.
Interior soft top fabric
Remove dust with a soft brush. Avoid
using hard brushes made of synthetic
material to prevent damaging the fabric
beyond repair.
Clean the surface with a microfibre
cloth or soft sponge dipped in a
solution of water and neutral soap.
Clean the entire surface, including the
zones where cleaning is not needed, to
prevent staining.
Use common, care mild stain removers
that can be purchased from car
cleaning product ranges to remove
more stubborn stains. Apply by blotting
(never rubbing) directly on the area of
the stain.
WARNING
31)
Keep hands away from the top
mechanism while opening and closing the
top or if the top stops in a position before
completing the cycle to prevent damage
and injury.
32)
Keep children away from the area in
which the top is folding during opening or
closing operations.
33)
When leaving the car, turn the ignition
device to STOP and always take the
electronic key with you to avoid the risk of
injury due to accidental operation of the
soft top. Improper use may be dangerous.
Before and during operation, always check
that no-one is at risk of being injured by
the moving soft top or by objects getting
caught and dragged by it.
IMPORTANT
15)
Never open the top in presence of
snow or ice to prevent damage.
16)
Do not place objects on the rear
window shelf to prevent damage while the
top is closing.
17)
Loads may not be secured on the roof.
18)
Bird droppings and plant resins must
be washed off immediately and thoroughly
from the soft top as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive.
19)
Never use high-pressure washing
systems.
20)
When using steam washers or
high-pressure water washers, maintain
a suitable distance and do not exceed a
maximum temperature of 60°C. Damage,
alterations and water infiltration may
occur if the distance is too small and the
pressure is too high.
21)
If a water jet is used, direct away
from the edges of the fabric and the rear
window frame to prevent water infiltration.
22)
Never use alcohol, petrol, chemical
products, detergents, stain removers, wax,
solvents and "wash and polish" products.
23)
Rinse immediately to remove soap
to prevent stains. Repeat the operation if
needed.
24)
Follow the instructions on the
waterproofing product container for
perfect results.
25)
The rubber seals on the soft top
must be cleaned exclusively with water.
If you notice that this trim is dry or is
sticking, apply talcum powder or products
specifically for rubber trim (silicone spray).
