Keeping Your Soft Top From Shrivelling In The Sun

Right, so you've got a convertible. Good on ya. But here's the thing, our UV levels are absolutely brutal, and if you're living near the coast or heading out past the Great Dividing Range, that roof is under constant attack. Between the salt spray eating the stitching and the red dust settling into the weave, a 'hose and hope' approach just won't cut it. Truth be told, most people wait until the roof leaks to actually look after it, and by then, it's usually too late.

At the end of the day, a bit of preventative care goes a long way. Spend an arvo once or twice a year doing it right, and your roof will last as long as the engine. Skip it, and you'll be looking at a $3,000 replacement bill from the motor trimmer. Your choice, really! Anyway, give it a crack this weekend before the next heatwave hits.
