Hi There:
You probably could not find it because its spelled ragg topp.I found this item for $43.93 fabric convertible top care kit at www.eshineca/search.php Click on the search feature on the left side of the page.

You can get both at the National Corvette Museum store for $29.95 for both the cleaner and the preservative.

Here's the link:

I did my 2000 last fall. Bought it online and could really see the difference from the water on the top when washing. Put the top up and then a plastic paint throw over the car and then put the top back down. Don't think mine had been done before.

That price above is good one.

Great stuff.
Drape a sheet out from under the top to protect the finish when applying the protectant.

I just did my top with Ragg Top yesterday.
WOW What a difference.
I too have a 2000 and I doubt it had ever been done with this stuff.
My top is light oak and it had a lot of staining from the years. I keep mine garaged, but I have no idea how the previous owner kept it.

Long story short, the cleaner really worked. I'll be doing the protector stuff this weekend.
