Just spent a part of Saturday morning lubricating all the hinges and putting rubber protector on all the roof seals. My last soft top (CLK) got a bad dose of green algae and I'm determined to not let this one get it. I have a look around every week and any spots of the stuff are removed with a toothbrush and a dab of washing up liquid. A well known carpet and upholstery cleaner with a brush on plastic container works a treat too.

I had lichens growing on the roof bars of a Discovery once, didn't stop tree huggers crticising me but I guess they just didn't look closely enough.

Our cars get washed regularly, well, at least as often as there is a solstice or an Equinox. ;-)

They all seem to host green growths around the window rubbers in due course. But of course, that's what pressure washers are for isn't it?

Not sure how the fabric roof would stand up to a pressure washer.
