The service life and the appearance of the convertible top are largely dependent on proper care and operation.
The vehicle should be parked in the shade whenever possible, as the fabric, rubber material and color can be harmed by extended exposure to sunlight.
In the event of leaks in the convertible top covering or seams or in the folded sections, use the Porsche convertible top care product.
Do not use the Porsche convertible top care product on painted surfaces, glass or on the rear window; if this is used, remove the product immediately.
Do not remove stains on the convertible top 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 convertible top.
Recommendation: Treat the convertible top covering with the Porsche convertible top care product twice a year or before installing the hardtop (winter driving).
