Can youu go through an auto car wash with convertable?

top up of course... i just got a convertable, so i dont know much about the care of the tops... and i was wondering if theyd be ok to go through a auto car wash before i just went through it. and its not one of those crappy car washes with just sprayers. its got brushed and those floppy things that drag across your car... you know??





and is there anything else i should know about convertable tops? its one of those soft tops, not t or hard or anything...





thanks!Can youu go through an auto car wash with convertable?
Soft top convertibles tend to leak like a sieve under the high pressure spray of a car wash and it has been known for the top to actually rip under the extreme high pressure jets some automatic washes use.





I recommend that you do not take the chance!Can youu go through an auto car wash with convertable?
Wash your car by hand. Power washers are bad for the top and the mechanical scrubbers will destroy it. I doubt that the car wash manager would let you go through the wash. There are water repellents made for the top to keep it in good condition and help keep it waterproof.
You can, but ask them to shut off the blowers at the end. My father in law took his through all the time and didn't, the top leaks like crazy now. That puts a lot of pressure on the seals.
Yes, but you should ask your local car dealer.
