Does anyone know if it'd be a good (or bad) idea to use a vacuum spot cleaner to clean the fabric top?

If the Raggtopp cleanser doesn't get it out I'd be surprised. Use an OXO feathertip brush from one of the detaling websites like autogeek.net
Keep an asborber type sponge to dry the top (don't use that on paint).
Then follow up with the Raggtopp protectant in a non-windy space.

The problem with household cleaners are the detergents. They attract dust. Dust leads to thinning of the thread, which then leads to the stretch marks when you operate the top. So if you run the car through a car wash, you have to make sure the top is extremely well rinsed with a fair amount of pressure, twice.
