I've been somewhat successful using novus plastic polish products to make it go away enough to take the sting out of it.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 02 S has developed 2 small brown stains on the plastic window of the top. One on each side of the top about half way down on the outer edge. Other than that the window is in very good shape. I use Plexus several times monthly. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas to remove them? Thanks in advance.....

POST 2Original post

I have found that the convertible top products made by 303 including their vinyl window treatment spray are good. You might try some on a terry cloth...

POST 3Original post

I have the same issue in the same area on my rear window. It's where it folds when putting the top up and down. The material is breaking down due to age, use and possibly uv damage combined. I've been somewhat successful using novus plastic polish products to make it go away enough to take the sting out of it. Eventually it will come back though. Now what I can't remember is if it's on the inside or outside. I'd be open to try anything else that someone has had better luck with. I have 303 products for boat care and yes, they are good.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
