I have the same problem, I have used mutliple cleaners, and none are completely removing
the spots. I have not used straight bleachI am afraid that would be to harsh on the top stitching.
The product that seems to be working the best is a black streak remover that is
used for RV's. I have applied at least 3 applications to the entire top and the spots are faded
but not gone. I figure I will keep at it each week when I wash the car and hopefully they will
fade away. If anyone else has this problem and have solved it I would love some more input.

Thanks,
Jeff

Do NOT use straight bleach on the top....It WILL greatly shorten the life of the stitching.....having said that, try a high pressure wand at a car wash. It blasts the mold off pretty well. What is left over will usually bleach itself out in the sun. Give it a little time, it'll be better than buying a top.
