Soft top plastic window issue
I bought an Al Knock soft top kit for my 1954 about six years ago. I had the frame restored and top kit installed about six months ago and it looked great. Today, while I was cleaning the car, I noticed what looks like small white acne spots imbedded all over in the clear plastic. I tried using some warm soapy water on it, then a light plexiglass cleaner called Plexus but the spots are well in the plastic.
Anyone else have this issue...and is there a cure?

If it is mold - prob from putting the top down wet (or even just slightly damp). NEVER store your top unless it is BONE dry ! Mold is a huge problem here in Florida.
