Snow on a convertible roof might look festive, but it often raises a few questions — especially for fabric soft-top owners. The good news? If your roof has been properly prepared for winter, there’s very little to worry about.
Prepared soft top? You’re in good shape 👍
A soft top that’s treated with Renovo Soft Top Protector is far better equipped to handle winter conditions. The advanced waterproofing creates a highly water-repellent barrier, helping prevent moisture from soaking into the fabric — even in snow, frost, or icy weather.
So if you’ve already cleaned and weatherproofed your roof, simply brush away any snow with a soft brush. No drama required.
Not winter-proofed yet? Don’t panic 😱
If your soft top hasn’t been waterproofed recently, the most important rule is simple: never scrape ice from the fabric. Scraping can damage fibres, wear away existing protection, and force moisture deeper into the material.
Instead:
- Brush snow away with a soft brush
- Allow ice in the fabric to melt naturally
- Once conditions allow, clean and waterproof your roof properly
Winter is the perfect reminder
Cold, wet weather is often when soft tops show the effects of neglect — damp patches, staining, or loss of water repellency. Preparing your roof before winter helps avoid these issues altogether.
