Default Convertible top care

Has anyone had luck in removing mildew from a convertible top and how did you go about it?

You have to be careful with what you put on your convertible top. I'd try warm soapy water with a soft brush.

Always a good idea to test a new cleaner in an area generally not out in the open and routinely seen. In case there is a reaction of the top material to the cleaner, spotting or bleaching, it is best that you've not swiped a 2-3 square foot area of your top.

It isn't gonna hurt the top any worse than it will ruin the paint job on all the other cars travelin' thru it.

I don't mind taking someone elses car, or my wife's van thru the car wash....but you'd NEVER see me take my Fiat thru one. Ever. Not even if you paid me.
