Cleaning Soft Top
How would one go about cleaning the soft top? How can the rear window clean up? It's currently "sticky"

Re: Cleaning Soft Top
Very light scrubbing with a brush and a mix of warm soapy water with Spic and Span. One member took a power washer and removed the waterproofing and dye, you don't want to do that. If the windows are yellowed, there is nothing you can do.

On the yellowed vinyl windows, I used electric contact cleaner and it cleared up the windows if I remembered right

Re: Cleaning Soft Top
Just read Your question. Sorry about the delay. I restored my soft Plastic top to original and cleared up the rear window by using WD40 It took several cans but it worked on the side curtains and doors also. It also softened the plastic so that the doors laid flat. You can re-coat canvas tops with regular tent water proofing if you have the canvas top.
good luck
