Stiching

Your roof is both glued and stitched together, making it very strong, however, some exposed stitching can be delicate and prone to rot if your hood is not properly maintained. Thankfully, they are not the only thing holding your roof together.

Great care should be taken when cleaning your hood around areas of stitching. While it is safe to use a brush on the main fabric parts of your roof, areas of stitching could be damaged.

Worn stitching on a soft top roof
Stitching on a convertible roof tends to be more delicate than the rest of the fabric. As can be seen in this photo, it is prone to wear. The good news is that stitching is often cosmetic and doesn't mean your roof is in imminent danger of falling apart.
