Default Best way to get Sap outta the roof

I have 2 drops of sap on my roof and I have no idea how to get it off, I've washed the top. I read that 303 Cleaner is good but I have no idea where to buy it, zellers (I've checked chinook and a few up north), canadian tires and some auto parts store. Any of you know where to get this stuff or something better that wouuld dissolve that cursed sap off my beautiful top.

Did you try washing those spots with HOT soapy water?

I've read that plain old rain does the trick. Park her out in a downpour. The 303 I use is a protectant. I wouldn't put that on until it's clean.

Not sure if it is safe for the roof fabric, but I would try Iso Propanol (IPA) solution, apply carefully with a cotton swab to try dissolve the Sap. Should work if it is from a tree or plant.

The 303 cleaner should be good for sap... I don't have the bottle here at work tho so I can't confirm.

Maybe this ? Stoner's Tarminator if you can find it in ALB ? supposedly it works on paint, so if it does, it could quite possibly be applied to the vinyl ?
