MAINTENANCE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
ZIPPERS
Thank you for choosing a Wildtop truck cap for your vehicle! Our caps are built to last,
providing you with the durability and functionality you need. However, to ensure the
longevity of your truck cap, it is crucial that you follow these maintenance and care
instructions carefully.
One key aspect of your truck cap maintenance involves the zippers. Dust or dirt may
accumulate in the zipper teeth over time, especially if you are frequently in dusty or
sandy environments. If such accumulation occurs, please avoid forcing the zipper open
or closed, as it may cause damage. Instead, it is recommended that you wash the
zipper teeth gently to remove any lodged debris. If the debris is stubborn, use a gentle
brush. Dry zippers after.
CANVAS
The premium canvas of your truck cap also requires special care to maintain its
physical performance and aesthetic lustre. In particular, the waterproof performance
of the canvas can be improved through proper conditioning. To condition the canvas,
start by tting the cap to your truck. Then thoroughly wet the canvas with a garden
hose, making sure to cover both the inside and the outside. Allow the cap to fully dry,
preferably in the sun. Repeat 2 or 3 more times. This allows the fabric to settle after
transport and packaging.
The following key points will help maximise the durability and life of your canvas:
�To remove dirt, brush the fabric with a soft bristle brush. An occasional hosing may
remove dust and some ingrained dirt.
�Never scrub the canvas fabric.
�Do not expose to petrol or oil.
�Immediately remove deposits of organic matter (such as soil, grass, bird droppings).
�Remove any mildew, as it appears, rst by brushing, then by treating with diluted
chlorine bleach (typically 1 part household grade bleach to 4 parts water to achieve 1%
available chlorine). Allow to dry in the sun, then hose well to remove any residue.
�Do not use strong bleach such as ‘pool chlorine’.
�Do not use soaps, detergents, solvents, or other liquid cleaners.
By following these instructions, you can extend the life of your soft truck cap, maintain
its aesthetic appeal, and enhance its functional performance. We want your
experience with our product to be nothing short of exceptional, and your care in
maintaining your truck cap is a signicant part of that. Thank you for your cooperation
and enjoy your Wildtop truck cap!
