Convertible Top Winter Care

[krash]

With the dreadful cold now coming in, a lot of us who daily drive our verts are left out in the cold (hah) for the next couple of months. I figured this would be a good place to share ideas/methods to convertible top care in the cold. Last winter is when my back window started to crack and eventually explode.

So what do you guys do to take care of the back window in the cold?

I find myself pouring warm water on it if theres a bit of frost out. My back window has a label that says not to rub it dry, but I'm going to try to find a soft enough cloth that I can dry it with after the warm water. Thats the best method I can think of.

Anyone know of any plastic treatments?

I would put a car cover over the car like I do. If anything it will keep the ice off and still protect the car from UV rays

i have it in Laramie Wyoming for the winter and I find my self just taking the snow off of it when it builds and off the plastic window, and so far I have yet to see any effects of the cold on the top fabric. I just spray it with the protectant against UV rays and water.

I would still get a car cover though. You can take the snow off with the cover
