My wife keeps a pony tail holder and hairbrush in the door storage compartment.

The rag top is easier to maintain than you think if you garage it and you don't have to polish and wax it. Kind of a bonus.

Could you give me more information on the Smart Top Module - and maybe a website?

Thanks,

- Use Raggtopp once or twice a year.
- Do not operate the top when it is wet (it will create more wear marks).
-Better to not operate top while moving even though you can (more strain on mechanism and connection points).
- Do not operate top when it is below 32F. Rear glass window can separate from surrounding seal/top material.
- When not driven, store with top in closed position to avoid creases.

Enjoy your new cab!

Put top down

PUSH Sport button - open exhaust - manage gear selection manually

Let car warm up,while driving semi normally

Once warm, find good twisty road, keep tach betweem 5000 and red line

Always keep the top "closed" and open only for your "open top" drives. Dry open only.
I always open and close the top parked with the brake on on Level ground, period. I broke the frame of my 930 CAB years ago on a slight incline while opening the top.
I clean my 991 top with Raggtopp and "long" brush strokes. no soap.

You will get crease marks (light red, in your case) over time. Just enjoy your CAB and keep smiling banging through the gears. Turn key, press SPORT and drive
Sports Exhaust and high RPMs are your friends.
Give Sports Plus a try when your wife is not in the car. Keep smiling . . .

Congrats!
