Any Miata or Soft top convertable people here?

[gearhead58]

Hi,



I just got my `90 miata and wanted to clean the rear plastic back window. I heard of Plexus and Meguiar, can any one recommend which is better.



Another question is my soft top is starting to peel away and separate from the fabrics inside. I pulled it back and there was some brittle glue like substance. I wanted to know what is the best product to re-glue fabric to fabric. I believe the frabric is either cloth or vinly.



I live in San Francisco and the only auto part store around is Kragen which does not carry any good car care product. It would be helpful to provide a list of place that carries these products.



Thanks in advance. I love this site as I used it before on my previuos cars and it has been very helpful.

My oldest daughter has a 95 Miata convertible. I recently used the Mequiars plastic products on her rear window. I used both of them, don`t remeber the numbers but one is a polish and one is a cleaner. Thye did a good job of removing some minor scratches and removing most of the haze from it. I gave her a can of Plexus to maintain it with. I also used Raggtop cleaner and protectant on the fabric top which is working great, water beads on it again. Her`s has no interior problems such as the separation your describing.

Have you tried searching on this subject? 4DSC is the King of Ingeniuous And Productive Searches, but I just did a quick, amateur search on "convertible" and found 197 threads. If you refined by "convertible + damage" or "convertible + clean," you might be able better to hone in on your particular issues.
