Soft Top maintenance

Earaya

Hi,

I'm yet to receive my Bronco but trying to get as much info as I can so Im prepared. I've read not to user a pressure washer on it but I was about to invest in one to do the vehicle. Any tips for me? How to wash, what to use, etc.
Thank you in advance.

We only hand wash our soft top and super gentle washing the plastic windows to avoid spider scratches. Regular garden hose with multi nozzle type sprayer is perfect.

We use a soft sponge on plastic windows and super soft long scrub brush for the canvas.

Leaf blower + step ladder and dry towels to mop the top dry (all of it). Dry it good epecially before opening doors. Otherwise be prepared for some water to fall on the front door seals and glass side windows if doors opened or bronco moved before top dry. This can be frustrating if you finish the wash then get in to move it.

If you use a pressure washer make sure its low PSI and wide fan spray setting. No laser spraying bc doing so could damage canvas.

Also push up on the soft top over your head if raining outside prior to exiting the vehicle, this will help prevent a waterfall in your lap when exiting in the rain OR if opening front windows in the rain.

Our soft top is a year old as of yesterday and still looks brand new.

Ps-keep in mind waterspots form easily on all bronco windows, especially the rear plastic window and difficult to remove especially if it drys then sits in the sun.

Apply RaggTopp annually to condition the fabric and the soft top will look brand new!

Check out Plexus for cleaning the plastic windows - it’s amazeballs!

Somebody makes a storage bag for all 3 soft top windows. Highly recommend it! We had the soft top down when we left on vacation last week and were able to safely bring them with us. Had to put them in last night. Has 3 sections in it so that all 3 windows are flat. Has 2 big loops to hang it from the head rests of the front seat so they hang on the back of the front seats. And 4 grommets to hang it in your garage or on a wall. Sorry, can't remember who makes it.
