Hello Everyone,

Has anyone been able to verify what type of Material is used for the convertible top for the Crossfire? Many top materials look like fabric...but are actually a vinyl weave...like the Nissan 350Z top is vinyl...and so are most of the new Sebring tops. I want to clean and protect it...but do not want to harm it by using the wrong products. Most of the chrysler tops used are vinyl...not fabric...and MB uses fabric only. Does anyone have a manual for a roadster that lists the material type? I would appreciate it. Also...I could not get a consistent reply from ChryslerDealers and could not find it listed on any internet convertible top product sites either.

Thanks

 

Go on to the Ecker's Corvette parts website. They have a convertible top protector recommended by Hartz convertible top manufacture. I have used it for years on my Corvettes, and now on my Crossfire. You just spray it on every 6 months and it will protect the top from the sun and rain etc etc. It is worth every penny. Especially when you see how the top beads up when it rains. Just my 2 cents!

 

Thanks for the reply Dragonfire...I visited the web site...and They recommend the "Ragg Topp" protectant for Fabric Corvette tops...I agree that Ragg Topp is a great product...just not sure that our top is a Fabric Material?...Thanks for the input.

 

Our tops are fabric, with what I believe is a flame adhesion waterproof vinyl layer underneath. It is a two layer top, unlike the corvette that has a 5 layer top. The crossfire top is not like the vinyl top layer on the 350Z or Mustang convertible tops. That protectant will work perfectly on your crossfire top. I know, because I use it. Like I said before, it's worth every penny to see the top bead up when it rains. The most important PM requirement here in Florida with the hot sun, is to make sure the top has some sort of fabric protection. The sun is the worst enemy for a fabric top, because it weakens the strength of the fibers. This protectant penetrates the fibers and coats them to help resist the effects of the sun. Damn...maybe I should be a spokesman for this stuff! Anyway, the decision is yours. But after using this product for over 6 years on vettes and keeping the top as good as the day it came out of the showroom, I want to pass on this information. "Try it...you'll like it!"
