<VV> Convertible top window care

[Bob Gilbert]

Hi Jim,

In my case, I make sure there is no dust on the window then I put a soft
towel against the window and carefully put the top down monitoring the
process to keep things as uniform (non-wrinkly) as possible. I don't unzip
(so to speak)

The car is not a daily driver so I can afford to have a rule that if it's
not good enough to drive with the top down it's not good enough to drive so
the top stays down most of the summer.

Subject: <VV> Convertible top window care

The good news is that Christine has a new convertible top and it looks
and fits great.  I can now see out of the rear window for the first time
since I bought her.

The bad news is that Christine has a new convertible top and the days of
putting the top down without any care are over.

I'd really like to keep the rear window as clear as possible for as long
as possible.  Other than rinsing off the dust with lots of water, a mild
soap and a soft cloth, what do I need to do when I put the top down?
Specifically, what's up with the zipper on the rear window?  Should I
unzip the window when I put the top down or leave it zipped up?

Thanks,
Jim McLott & Christine, the 1966 Monza convertible wonder-car

P.S.  I'm pretty sure that neither silicon nor silicone is going to be
good for it!  :o)
