Re: Mold on Soft-top
I can tell you that no rain nor humidity, in bright hot Sun light
of Southern California, the mold grows like heck on my Bronco. Maybe,
have something to do with the pine tree beside it.

Hydrogen Peroxide is a somewhat decent bleach if you scrub with a
good brush...some places [Smart & Final] you can buy it in gallon
jugs. Add a bit of cleaner like Lysol, might work without too
much damage.
If it is just spots, you might try one of those bleach pens, being
careful to stay away from the seams. What the heck, it can't look
much worse...
