Soft Top Questions
I'm the proud new owner of a '99 TJ. Unfortunately I haven't done much
actual off-road/'real' Jeeping yet, but I do have some questions about
just taking care of my Jeep in general.
First, is it safe to take a Jeep through a car wash with the soft top
on? Or should I just expect to always do a hose job?
Second, when putting the top down will I do more damage to it by folding
it neatly (since, like tents, I would assume repeated folding of the same
area might weaken the material) or would it be worse to just push it down
and let it rest 'as it falls'?;
Third, should I use any kind of waterproofing on my soft top to keep it
waterproof (which it is remarkably 100% right now--the dealer told me
that's a problem lots of Jeeps have), or might the chemicals in the
waterproofing actually make the waterproofing already on the top worse?
Thank you guys for your help. Much appreciated.
