Care and Maintenance:
Your QuadraTop is made of the nest ma-
terials available but to keep it look- ing new
and for the maximum possible wear, it will
need periodic cleaning and basic mainte-
nance. The main threats to your soft top are
pollutants, dirt and grime. By keeping your
soft top clean you will prolong the life of your
top.
We recommend the following to keep your
top like new:
Washing: The soft top fabric should be was-
hed often using a mild soap, warm water and
a soft bristle brush (do not use the brush on
the window glass!). You can also use special
soft top clean- ers available on our website
and shown on page 15. Make sure that after
clean- ing you rinse with clear water to remo-
ve all traces of soap.
Zippers: Keeping the zipper cleaned and
lubricated with a silicone lubricant (see Page
15) will help prevent damage and keep the
zippers in a smooth working condition. If zi-
pper opens behind the slider, the slider may
have been spread apart. This problem can
usually be xed
by using an ordinary pair of pliers to bring
the sides back into parallel. Return slider to
the end of the zipper in the nor- mal Open
position. Squeeze lightly at
First and test zipper. If the zipper contin- ues
to remain open squeeze more rmly with
pliers and try the zipper again. Repeat proce-
dure until your zipper operates correctly.
Windows: It is very important that you keep
your QuadraTop windows clean! Use a mild
soap and water solution to gently clean your
windows. NEVER wipe your windows clean
with a dry cloth! Dust and dirt on a dry cloth
can scratch your windows causing “fog- ging”
and permanent damage. When re- moving
your windows, store them with a towel be-
tween the panels/rear win- dows to protect
them from damage. If frost or ice forms on
the outside of your windows during the win-
ter, DO NOT use an ice scraper to remove
this frost. Over time you will see small micro
scratches in your windows which are natural
wear and tear. These Micro scratches can be
“polished” out using the window polish listed
on page 15 (Available at Quadratec.com).
Water/Fabric: In the event of seeping
through the seams, 3M Scotchgard® may
be applied on the inside of the seams to stop
the see. Rips in the fabric may be repaired
with Bondex® iron on patches. Iron the
patches to the Inside of the top, carefully
following the Bondex® instructions.
Snaps: Keep snaps cleaned and lubricated
with silicone to help prevent snaps from
sticking to the studs. If a snap does beco-
me stuck to a stud, use a screwdriver and
GENTLY pry apart to prevent permanent
damage to the snap or the top fabric.
