Why is my convertible roof green?
Your soft top convertible roof has gone green because it has become the perfect environment for algae, moss and lichen to grow.
Dirt from the atmosphere settles in the fibres of the roof, it contains all the macro and micro nutrients required to be the perfect soil for growth. Then just add water. If the hydrophobic coating has worn off, your hood remains soggy, and the combination of water and sunshine means you have created a garden on your roof.
It hasn't ruined your roof, and it can be cleaned off. Keeping your car clean and maintaining the weatherproof coating will prevent it from growing back.
