since my s is going to be spending a lot of time out in the atlanta sun i was wondering what was the best convertible top conditioner. any other tips for keeping the top nice and not dried out and ripped??

Check out the RaggTopp products. You won't be disappointed. You should also get the softtop frame sanded down at the usually wear spots in the rear. And make sure that those two elastic straps in the roof are not dried out. If your top seems like it doesn't go down far enough when you retract it, it is a sign that you probably need new straps.

I second the Raggtopp for conditioning. You can get that and a new set of straps from Bob at Modifry. Also, get some Shin-Etsu Silicone Grease for all the seals around the top. A little applied a couple times a year will keep it nice and flexible.

OEM vinyl? People seem to like Raggtopp.

I'm on cloth top now and I use 303 Fabric Guard.

+1 for Raggtopp here... i use their cleaner as well with a soft brush and then protect every 4-6 months... im garaged so not a big deal... if i was outside all day id increase application. and yes good info on checking the top straps, de-burr, and the shin etsu...

303 Vinyl protectant works good also.

How often do you guys put the protectant on your top ???

Twice a month wouldn't be too often, I treat mine to 303 after each washing.

I used 303 for the first time last week. Amazing results.

awesome. thanks guys! i think im going to order some 303 and some raggtopp and see which i like better. i gotta check out my straps. my car only has 43k on it so im guessing all of the top and the straps are still all factory original. are they hard to replace if need be?
