Not really any way to fix them. People tend to wetsand them down, and refinish them.

Spiderwebing = new top

Clear coat flaking off = wet sand and buff

They only way I know to fix the spider webbing is replace the top. I don't think it's worth it. It's mostly a cosmetic issue and not obvious from outside the car.

Here's a shot of mine where you see the spider webbing.
