When is the best time to weatherproof my soft top?
The best time to weatherproof a convertible roof is at the end of the summer so that you have maximum protection through the autumn and winter.
You will get most rain through the winter months, but you will also get a lot of leaves falling from the trees in the autumn, which is organic matter which will feed roof green. We recommend regular care through this period, keep it clean, check the gutters and rubbers and make sure all drainage is free of leaf litter and debris as this will help to prevent leaks.
Weatherproof coating repel water so that your hood stays dry and prevents it from becoming sopping wet. This is important if temperatures fall below freezing.
With that said, it is better to have weatherproofing than not, so don't wait for the Autumn to weatherproof your hood, if your hood is looking green or getting wet, get it done as soon as you can.
