Default Cab top refurbishing - anything out there?

I have a 2002 996 Cab and the top has faded. Are there any tried and true products to dye or something to bring the color back? No leaks or wear so I don't want to have to prematurely replace it...

Ragtopp is good for Bringing back the waterproofing, but I'm not sure if it would help faded color.

RaggTopp also makes a cleaning solution. Get the top wet and using a brush scrub the top with the cleaner. Rinse well and Allow to dry and then use the RaggTopp sealant.

I used 303 on my gray top. I think it SLIGHTLY darkened it. Bunch of old threads you can dig through. Only consensus seemed to be that you can only re-dye a black top so you seem good to go, didn't dig deep enough to find product references though.

I dyed my blue 2002 top w/a colour called "Bluejean". It worked great. After, I used the 303 top protector. Again, it worked great.
