Nope nothing to worry about! I wouldn't let soap dry on the top as it might leave marks on it, but other then that you can wash it like normal. It's canvas and quite tough even when it's pretty old. The plastic window not so much, but the top its self is pretty tough ****************.

I only wash the top 1 out of 5 washes so I just don't spray and wet it as it generally dones't really need to be done. When I do I just wash it like the rest of the car.

I do have the Porsche top conditioner. ITs pretty cool because it makes the top really water resistant. When you spray water on it, it comes off like a freshly waxed hood, just rolls right off and will not absorb. It's pretty cool and seems to keep the roof in good condition when it does get wet.
