107SL top folding technique-- Large pictures

I was asked to make a post on how I fold the top on my 1988 560SL. The top I have was installed in 1995 when I purchased the car. It was NOT a Mercedes top. It was an aftermarket top but of course a Happisch material top.

Cleaning the top. Use lots of water and a mild detergent, very mild. Treat it like a suit. Woolite?? Any grime that I want to remove. Bird droppings, of any other material. I use lots of water, a mild soap and a Mushroom brush. Yes a mushroom brush. Steal it from your kitchen, of course after buying a new one as a replacement. The brush is very soft but the harder you press the more you get to the stiffer section of the bristles on the brush. I have found this to work quite well. It cleans a soft mushroom gently so I figured it would be OK on my top, and it is.

This is a view of my plastic window. Its 8 years old. I believe that the best way to care for this window is to keep it out of UV rays. I do this by keeping the fabric top retracted as much as possible and I never use the hardtop. Its a convertible. I like it with the top down.
