These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Besides cleaning and treating the fabric what else can I do to make the top last? Is it better to have the top up most of the time? Does moving the top up and down accelerate deterioration?

POST 2Original post

Get a soft brush and clean the top often. Dirt in the folds when down accelerates wear. I frequently vacuum mine and use a sticky roller to clean it. I also use Porsche’s top protective/preservative in spray can.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 11566458

Same thing I do with the exception of Porsche's protective. So moving it up and down doesn't accelerate wear?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Do you go through the whole process of cleaning the top once a year or do you just make sure it is dusted and then just apply another protective coating?

POST 5Original post

Ragg top cleaner or equivalent with a soft brush, Porsche protective spray, at summer’s end. Also Porsche spray after normal wash during the season.
