We engineering types down here have taken a WalMart Kids Pool Noodle (styrofoam noodle thingy @ $1.99, its about a yard long and about 4" dia.) and wrapped it in a towel or a sheet of 1/2 in. foam and placed that in the 'bell' of the plastic window as the mechanism rolls down... it keeps the plastic taut in a rounded shape so when you roll it back up its perfectly preserved and has no creases... else you will have a permanent line in that back window... did that make sense?

I thought our convertible tops were fabric. Am I wrong?
Select a vinyl protectant for an OEM S2000 top. Our tops do use a woven substrate giving it a fabric-like texture, but it is coated with vinyl which requires the typical UV protectants of any other vinyl component. Many like Wolfstein's RaggTopp Vinyl Protectant or 303 Aerospace Protectant.
Our tops differ from fabric or canvas tops that have a rubber backing and need a fabric protectant that essentially seals the fabric from dirt and moisture. While the texture of our tops is fairly convincing, the differences are obvious when comparing an S2000 top side-by-side with a real fabric/canvas top.

Yes... as least for the purpose of selecting a protectant.

I have both raggtop for vinyl roofs and the 303 convertable top kit which I believe is for fabric. Which one should I be using??
