Just got a 1999 Celica GT Conv.
Looking for best way to clean the black canvas convert top. Also, looking for a good product to waterproof the canvas, as I understand it, the canvas is only water resistant unless treated with proofing. The autoparts stores out here stink, all I could find was "Blue Magic" Convertible cleaner and protectant. Judging by the looks of the bottle, this is not the product I was looking for for waterproofing. Any suggestions? |

Any Celica conv will have problems with the water on the front side. What you need to do is regurlarly re-adjust the rubber between the top and the metal. And make sure is maintained. If is ripped you will get water no matter what.
As far as a protectant I use the same product that is used for waterproofing suede shoes. Any Water repellent for suede shoes will work. I used it with my 88 conv, 93 conv and with my 99 conv. It works very well.
