Re: Convertible top waterproofing products

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@domain.elided>]

Hi Ian:

Porsche makes a product for their Cabrio's that's supposed to be very 
good.  It is to be applied when the top is new, and then anytime water 
stops beading on the fabric.  I've not tried it, because the instructions 
warn to avoid getting it on paint or the plastic window, but it comes in a 
aerosol can.  Seemed like too much trouble.

Regards,
