Yes, of course it does. The top of the line kit is made by RaggTopp. I use Blue Magic convertible top cleaner. Follow the directions on the bottle and apply it at least twice a year. More if it is always parked outside. Convertible top cleaners will protect the top from the sun and keep it flexible so that it lasts for years.

Do you use the 'fabric' cleaner and protectant or 'vinyl' cleaner and protectant? Thanks,

Keep it clean and put protection on it. I use 303 aerospace protectant, works great.

Also best not to keep the top open, folded down overnight as it will develop creases.
