Default Mould! Arrrghhh

I managed to pop the roof on my car yesterday due to some (not warm) but sunny conditions here (above 0 C anyways).
To my horror i noticed mould starting to grow on the roof (inside), now obviously this is condensation related, which im going to have to track down, but immediately, how do i treat my roof for mould so as not to damage it and maintain its waterproofing?

Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Mugen 888 had a little garden growing around the edges of his soft top!

Just wash it off

Cool, i will do then, i really wondered if it should be treated to prevent it happening again, also is there anything i shouldnt do that might damage the roof itself?

Don't try to remove it with a blowtorch - that might damage the roof.

Fungicide or pesticide might help too. Leave it to soak overnight in it....
