Make sure you remember to put the top up before the car wash

I believe that's specific to those car washes with tracks on the floors (squatch tires won't fit, could be damaged), and those that utilize brushes and rollers, (which I NEVER take my Mustang through), not the "touch-less". But still curious as to the high pressure on the soft top.The owners manual cautions against running the soft top or sasquatch through an automatic car wash.
I think its a size thingDoes it say why not to run a sasquatch through? Seems odd
I’ve never had a soft top. Are they a pita to clean since it’s a fabric rather than a painted smooth surface? Has yours leaked? I know you have jeep.Having a Jeep with the premium soft top (similar material to Ford's offering) I was more concerned about the top absorbing the detergent/chemical cleaning agents that the leaking. Therefore, I stayed away from car washes entirely. I only treated the top with 303 Fabric Guard and rinsed of any debris during hand wash.
Good to know.I have washed my soft top BD in a touchless car wash multiple times with no problems. Again, a touchless car wash, with no tracks on floor, I've also utilized the dryer at the end with no problems. I was initially concerned water would come in with the high pressure, but all was well, and dry!
Re: the vinyl windows, nothing special as of yet. Have just been running it through the wash and dry cycle, and allowing it to finish air drying. My Bronc is kept in a heated garage, so I usually wash her before heading home for the day, now that winter is here.Good to know.
Are you doing anything special for the vinyl windows in the back? Or just running it through and allowing it to dry without any problems?
Same, I ahve run my through multiple times in my local brushless trackless car wash. No leaks at all.I have washed my soft top BD in a touchless car wash multiple times with no problems.

The top will hold soap, plus everything others have stated.Anyone know if taking the soft top thru a touchless car wash would be an issue? Leaking? I typically have a subscription to a drive thru car wash.
I have a new delta sonic wash and they have a tire size checker and it fit, no issues.Mechanical track on the floor. Those wide 35s are definitely not going to fit the typical car wash
Same. Touch less, no tracks and you should be fine. The pollen on the black top looks dirty pretty quickly, so I’ve taken mine through a few times recently.I have washed my soft top BD in a touchless car wash multiple times with no problems.
