Q&A: How do I keep my Jeep soft top from getting dry and cracking?
Question by Jacob: How do I maintain my Jeep soft leading from finding dry and cracking?
I’ve heard some issues that if I don’t maintain my soft leading on my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon oiled or some thing, it may well get also dry and get started cracking. Any reality to this? What is a excellent way to keep this from happening?
Very best solution:

I like to spread butter all around mine… oh wait that’s for something else nvm.

the soft top on my 1990 jeep lasted 15 years, and the softop on my 1998 jeep made it 10 years without doing anything other than rinsing the heavy dirt off with clean water occasionally. I would just keep it clean, don’t use harsh detergents, and don’t use armorall or any of that kind of stuff on it. It’s very durable and will last a good long time. It can be replaced for about $ 450 or so, so if you get 10 years out of it, it owes you nothing.
Then again, Helen can spread butter on my soft top any time she wants.

Bestop makes the soft tops for Jeeps. They also make products to maintain soft tops and soft top windows. You can order on line or locate a local store.

PS: Helen, I would love to comment about going from soft to hard (tops of course) if I could be sure you are over 18…. and a woman… but that’s impossible to confirm in this fantasy land called the internet.
