    Tan Top with adhesive bleeding thru

    Good evening all!

    I have a Galaxy Gray '06 with tan leather and top. It was purchased used. It appears that some of the adhesive in the tan top has bled thru the cloth across the front bow and in the outer edges of the rear bow.

    What will clean this without damaging the top material? And, how can it be prevented from happening again?

    Thanks in advance!

    DSR-5 adhesive remover should work, put some on a rag and start wiping

    Just saw this. I work in a top shop. This is a Mazda known and common problem on NCs. I haven't heard or seen any solution for it. Mazda has replaced tops under warrantee when it happened early.

    I was going to say the same thing. Once that craps starts seeping through, it's over. Corvette steering wheels that are exposed to really high temperatures in direct sunlight have the same issue.
