Default Soft top care

I hosed the dust off the soft top, and found that the water beaded up nicely all over the roof except there was some absorption along the stitch line near the driver's front. I think the waterproofing is unevenly applied. I dried it with a shammy and it looks great. Nice deep rich cocoa colour.

I have some Raggtop cleaner and protector on a purolator truck somewhere. I live about an hour from the dealer.

Should I take it to the dealer and get the waterproofing redone or should I just use the Raggtop for this?

Any thoughts or experience?

Thanks.

As a previous cab owner, I can't imagine anything better or easier to apply than RaggTop. I used to apply it about 3 times a year.

Unless the hour drive is especially nice, just use the Raggtop.

Just anxious about putting a protectant on top of a fresh but different protectant. Worried they will mix and turn yellow or something worse. I gather no one has had issues with applying Raggtop after the OEM protectant?

Thanks.

About 90 days after I purchased my car I began using raggtop. 3 times a year.
