Default waterproofing top?

I was just curious what, if anything, everyone uses to waterproof their convertible top? I am wanting to get this done before I bring my car out of hibernation (yea, I know I've got a while yet...)



Thanks

Marine supply stores sell products to waterproof boat canvas tops (bimini tops, etc.). I used the Starbrite waterproofing product before on a boat top and it worked well for the season. Try www.BoatUS.com

Kind Regards, Chris

The S2000 should never need it. It's fabricated from PVC not canvas.

You can also look at www.properautocare.com for some good products. I use 3M's 303 vinyl protectant.

On a side note - I have been using Zaino's Leather-in-a-bottle on my seats and interior for the past year, roughly once a week since I got my car new. Both of my seats (on the side closest to the door) are showing some creases that I am positive did not exist before. Is this normal - I can't really call it a crack, but I am worried that it might develop into that. Does anyone else have this? Is this normal for leather (never had leather interior before).
