    Your soft top doesn't keep the water out?

    A hard top keeps water off your soft top...

    I wasn't trying to be a smart ass or anything, but I was just curious as to why your soft top isn't water proof.

    It was a first post. C'mon back mfirecat. This really is a friendly place. The boys was just teasin' ya. Maybe provide a bit more detail on what your particular concerns are and I am sure someone can get you pointed in the right direction . . . or maybe dispell your concerns.

    Vinyl: Nothing. Just wash it. Don't use protectant/armor-all/anything. If it's getting grey, you can use Bleche-Wite tire cleaner to get it back to black. Black Magic works also, but Bleche Wite is great.

    Cloth: 303 products. They have a cleaner and a water guard product. Makes water bead up nicely.

    MR.net: you scared one off.

    Seriously guys, I wasn't trying to be a smart ass and scare anyone off. I was just confused by the top not being waterproof. I was almost thinking recall on his top.
