O2 Soft Top Material

Greetings all you clever people.

I just bought a 2005 O2 for "she who must be obeyed". Does anyone know what material is/was used to make the soft top. I want to give it a good clean and put on some protector and need to check I get the right stuff.

Thanks.

Welcome JivingDaddy to the forum,

You will find that "she" is very wise and the 02 will prove to be a great purchase. Great fun in the winter and a roof to drop in the summer. My VVT softtop was purchased for me with influence from the other half (I wanted a hard top). Have to say i have never regretted the purchase.

The original material on the Mk2 hoods is a type of cotton duck material. I have used a mild water detergent watered down and used a scrubbing brush to get rid of mold and other marks. It worked well.

In the end I got fed up with the poor fit of the original softtop and went and brought a replacement, which was far more easier to put up and take down. Now the slightest sign of sun and the roof is down.

They may also be able to help in regard to other cleaning materials too.

Post a photo of your new O2. We love to see photos on the forum.

Read on and you might find temptation to put a few mods on the 02.

Happy Jimnying

Many thanks for the feedback Paul.

I was just trying to open the roof. Failed miserably. Can't get the clips to open. Now to the manual to see where I am going wrong.

Will have a look at the suggested roof replacement.

Pic attached if it works.

Cheers,

Peter
