• The service life and look of the hood are largely dependent on proper care and operation.
• The car should be parked in the shade whenever possible, as the fabric, rubber coating and color can be harmed by long exposure to sun radiation.
• In the case of leaks in the hood covering or seams or in the folded sections, use the Porsche hood care product.
• Do not use the Porsche hood care product on painted surfaces, glass or on the flexible rear window; if this is used, remove the product immediately.
• Do not remove stains on the hood with petrol, stain remover, benzene, paint thinner or other solvents; they attack the rubber layer between the fabrics and diminish the water-tightness and service life of the hood.
• Recommendation: Treat the hood with the Porsche hood care product twice a year or before installing the hardtop (winter driving).
