Caring for the convertible top
General information
The appearance and life of the convertible top
depend on correct care and operation.
Follow the following instructions:
▷ Clean roofliner with a microfiber cloth.
Dampen cloth lightly with water.
▷ Do not soak the roofliner.
▷ To prevent water stains, mildew spots, and
chafe marks, do not enclose the convertible
top in the convertible top well for a long
period and do not fold and stow the con‐
vertible top in the convertible top well
while the top is wet or frozen.
▷ Remove water stains that may nevertheless
have appeared on the roofliner using a mi‐
crofiber cloth and an interior cleaner.
▷ When the vehicle is parked in enclosed
areas for lengthy periods, ensure that the
area is well ventilated.
▷ If possible, park the vehicle in the shade to
protect it from intensive solar radiation so
that color, rubber and fabric are not af‐
fected.
▷ Remove bird droppings immediately as
their corrosive effect will otherwise attack
the convertible top and damage the rubber
seals.
▷ Hard to remove tree sap or bird droppings
can be removed from the convertible top
with special tree sap remover and a soft
brush.
Safety information
NOTE
Spot remover, paint thinner, solvents,
gasoline or similar can damage the convertible
top or the rubber coating. There is a risk of
property damage. To remove spots on the con‐
vertible top, use only suitable cleaning agents,
e.g., special convertible top cleaning agent.◀
Cleaning the convertible top
To remove heavy soiling, especially for light col‐
ored convertible tops, use a special convertible
top cleaner.
Proceed as follows when cleaning:
1. Spray the convertible top with the converti‐
ble top cleaner. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Make the convertible top cleaner foam up
using a well saturated sponge, moving it in
circular motions.
3. Finish washing the vehicle in the vehicle
wash or rinse with ample amounts of water.
Observe notes regarding automatic wash‐
ing systems or vehicle washes.
Treat the convertible top with an impregnating
agent after it has been washed three to five
times.
Suitable cleaning agents and care products are
available from a dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Leather care
Remove dust from the leather regularly, using a
cloth or vacuum cleaner.
Otherwise, particles of dust and road grime
chafe in pores and folds, and lead to increased
wear and premature degradation of the leather
surface.
To guard against discoloration, such as from
clothing, clean leather and provide leather care
roughly every two months.
Clean light-colored leather more frequently be‐
cause soiling on such surfaces is substantially
more visible.
Use leather care products; otherwise, dirt and
grease will gradually break down the protective
layer of the leather surface.
