I need to put my hardtop back on as its been living at my parents in the spare room but they have a visitor coming and need the space back so, as I've got nowhere to store it, it needs to go back on the car.

This morning I washed and waxed my car and washed and conditioned the soft top, my question is how long should I leave the soft top to dry before I put the hardtop on as its liable to be on there now until the spring and I dont want to remove it and find a mouldy / damaged soft top when I do take it off.

Cheers for the help,

Deacon

(Oh yeah, it was about 12 noon when I finished cleaning my car.)

Cheers for the help kanujunkie.

It was just a light clean, but I don't think I've got the stamina for a 2.5 day clean!  s:D :D s:D

Uee a hairdryer on it - that's what I do.  Don't forget to half-lower the top and do the bits that are close to the bodywork as well (which is where the hairdryer really comes into its own).
