How to care for my Beetle's roof?
I want to know if you have to do something special to make sure the top to the Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is safe doing the winter time?
Our answer:
Hi Andrea,
It’s not always explicitly said, but any soft-topped (convertible) car with a fabric roof will remain watertight for longer if you give the roof some care. Look up ‘soft-top protectors’ and you’ll find a wide variety of products available for around €20-€30, which can be applied to the roof. Try and do this at least once a year, in autumn, and the roof should last you much longer than it would do otherwise.
