I live in Florida and usually have my top down unless it is raining or above 85 degrees. When the top is up, it tends to accumulate dust and lint both in the garage and out. I read an article suggesting using the a lint roller on the top to keep it clean and maybe increase the top life. I picked up a cheap one that peels off 60 sticky pads (dollar store). It worked fantastically. The top looks brand new in 5 minutes and the sticky part is uggggggllllyyyy. Just thought I would pass this on. I think it a lot easier on the top than sweeping with a stiff brush.
