Convertible Tops
Mine is an 01 vert that has always been inside. I noticed that there appears to be small shiny spots where it looks like the top touches together when it is folded down. Anyone else ever notice this. It looks brand new except for these small areas, doesnt leak, and the door or window needs to be open just to get the deck lid to shut easily so I know the car is tight. Any products out there to renew the top with other than Raggtop, or is this the best. Thanks

Raggtop is an awesome product, but it wont get rid of the shiny spots.

You have 2 options: never drop the top,or get used to the spots. The top is a consumable. It's going to wear out even if you put a towel where the fold occures when you put the top down. Keep it treated with Raggtop or the equivelant and keep it as clean as you can. When it gets to looking too ratty put a new one on.
