Default A jet black soft top
My soft top had faded excessively i.e no hint of black anywhere, over its 4.5 year life and I was in the process of placing an order for a brand new roof at around

See if it comes off in the rain!

I've used Raggtopp since day 1, so it's not been a problem.

Yep, these soft top protectors work wonders. You just need to apply it once per quarter to keep it looking nice and dark.

applied the renovo stainer three months ago since then it has rained snowed and blown upon, the roof is still intact and immaculate.

Infact when it rains the rainwater forms tiny beads and just slides off.

303 is good, but I have had better results with Renovo.

Keep roof up!

I'd close it if I were you. Especially with all the cold weather we're supposedly in for. Trying to close it when it's possibly frozen stiff is a recipe for a new roof.

The car lives in a heated garage with a cover so I'm n0t sure this applies. Does the roof live folded up in the back all winter if you fit the hardtop??
As long as it's heated I don't think there'll be an issue, so long as you raise it again while it's still reasonably warm.
