Default How old is

your roof

I've still got the original plastic rear window on my MY2001 - anyone running an older original roof???

And yes, it has no holes or tears, minimal scratches which come out with a bit of Autoglym polish....
Perhaps my secret is the cotton towel I place across the window before lowering the roof...

does that mean if you're out with the roof down and it starts raining you have to get out each time to pick up the towel?!

Dunno - it's been under the tonneau for ages.

Was OK the last time I looked.

But it was regularly treated with Raggtopp etc.

Is it really too difficult to put the whole question in the subject?

MY99 original roof and 130,000 miles near enough. I think the secret is doing nothing at all to it.

The plastic isn't exactly clear though.
