If the convertible top is very dirty, it is rec-
ommended that it be cleaned with a spe-
cial convertible top cleaning agent. Your
MINI Dealer will be glad to advise you.

Clean the convertible top as follows:
>Spray the convertible top with an

approved convertible top cleaning agent

>Then scrub the convertible top with a

wet sponge using circular motions

>Afterward, finish cleaning the vehicle in

a car wash or rinse the convertible top
thoroughly with plenty of water.

After washing the convertible top three to
five times, it should be treated with a
waterproofing agent.

Wind deflector*

>Clean the wind deflector with a soft

sponge and water evenly across the
entire surface so that water marks do
not form

>Do not clean it with a vacuum cleaner or

upholstery brush attachment, otherwise
the net could be damaged.

Your MINI Dealer will be glad to advise you
on what is important if the vehicle is to be
decommissioned for longer than three
months.
