??s about soft top on '93 300 CE CV

[yambrovich]

Hi everyone,
I've got a couple of questions about the soft top (operating it, cleaning it and cleaning around it etc.) on my 1993 300Ce convertible (A124). Unfortunately, I don't have an owner's manual (I've ordered it but it hasn't arrived yet).

My service guy told me that I should NEVER interrupt the top operation when it's going up or down. However, how do I clean / vacuum out the small 'trunk' area where the top is stored if I can't stop the thing in the middle? What about treating the rubber gaskets?

Any help would be appreciated. How about you MBFRAU? What do you do?

THANKS!
