Or get RAGGTOPP sold by Forum Supporter Ecklers, part number 88-0251-1 . Suggest considering also buying a top up cover (Ecklers #34877) if your vert sits outside (like mine) most of the time.

I've used 303 cleaner and 303 protectant, liked it better than ragtop, beads up pretty good, but apparently they're both just re-packaging of high end camping tent and boat top waterproofing I'm told..... they look the same on the ingredient labels and smell the same but I haven't tried any... I know the stuff I use on my boat top beads up like crazy and lasts a long time....the seagull poop rinses right off as well

If I recall they upgraded the tops in 01 to Twill II from a 3 ply to a 5 ply top, with an added layer of insulation for sound and heat.... it is CLOTH the 303 works GREAT....

I also found that using a soft bristled brush for application helped... I think it's mentioned on the 303 bottle...

FOLLOW the instructions to the LETTER.... Get some cheap thin drop cloth and you can crack open your top... slide the sheet of plastic under the top and cover the entire car... then all that's left is masking off the back glass...I just masked off the outer edge of it with 1/2 blue masking tape then cut out a piece of brown paper from Lowes to fill the rest of the area and taped it in place...they you can do a good job of treating your top and not get anything on the car..........

Top down
A guy in S. Jersey had white with black top. hd,auto, rear, with a LS1 stroker ,novi 2000, roll bar. with black Ruff rims. a 9.60 vette no juice for $21g,, ECS build. and I didn't jump on it..It was one of the best lookin verts I'd seen. white with black interior sport seats.
Fred
Yep,I think I will be doing the same thing. The black top looks really good, I just wanna try to keep it that way..Only be driving at the most 3 days a week. 8 months max in a yr. It will NOT see the Md. salt...or rain unless I get caught in it..
