Anyone taken the soft top through a car wash?

I have, but I'm not intending to make a habit of it. The brushes appeared to have done nothing to the soft top except restore it back to looking amazing, and the vinyl windows just the same. That being said, the brushes looked like melamine (think magic eraser) to me so I'm not going to do it again. The air blowers/dryers at the end actually seemed to be the most intrusive. The actual manual says to hand wash only, which in my case with young kids and a busy schedule means "pay someone else to clean your car" which over time will probably cost more than a MIC top

Sure did. It’s just fine.
I’ve done it hundreds of time on soft top Jeeps and Mustangs.

Squatched or no? My concern is the wider flares.....may not be justified.I have, but I'm not intending to make a habit of it.

I have taken mine through a car wash a couple time. I have a 4 door soft top, base with Sasquatch. No problems whatsoever.

I took my OBX SAS soft top through the touchless car was and had no problems and no leaks. It did not do very well cleaning the tops of the running boards but the rest was fine.
The one thing an automatic wash will eventually do is wear down the stitching on the soft top. My dad had taken his mustang through one for a couple years and the stitching in the top has worn in spots to where the thread is pulling
