Soft Top Up 1st Time

[Chief]

OK, it's stopped snowing in Minnesota. Whew!! And I'm gonna take the hard top off!
Is there anything I should know before I run the soft up for the 1st time after 6 mos. of storage?

Chief, all i know when I first put the soft top up I had some chalky type dust on it. It seems to be going away. I think I will use a soft brush.
And don't forget to pull the handle in the middle to lock the pins in. Joy

The soft top will be tight. Before clamping down the top (with the center handle), pull down on the top at both front corners to make sure the hooks can engage properly to snug down the top. I hope there wasn't any moisture on the top while it was down all this time - might have some hard-water deposit to clean off the fabric.
Good luck, Duane

I had my soft top up for the first time on Saturday. There were a bunch of little white specs on the rear window exterior. Looked like something sprayed on it. They wouldn't wash off, but came off with my fingernail. No big deal, but kind of annoying.
