What is the best way to get my soft top black again?
 This is the best picture I have at the moment, but what is the best way to get my soft top black again? It has sat out in the sun for a few years now and is bleached, It is made out of a cordura or heavy canvas type material

Re: What is the best way to get my soft top black again?
You're probably going to have to dye it, but before you can do that you need to identify exactly what the material is. If the manufacturer is still in business (I can't quite read the brand name) you could contact them and ask them what dye they recommend.

it is a soft topper and is 4-5 years old. I ditched the hard top and bought this as soon as they started reproducing them

You're going to have to dye it. You can get blacke fabric dye in spray cans for a decent price, and it does a pretty good job. Just take your top off, tape off your windows, and give at least two coats. Since its canvas and not polyester, you should get good results.

Re: What is the best way to get my soft top black again?
It says it is canvas on the website, I just ordered up some 303 protectant to give it a try. Does anyone have any experience with a good water proofer/repellant?
