Convertible top Maintenance

I applied some top dressing the other day that really works great, the water actually beads off the canvas.
Looked in all the local auto parts stores and wall mart which has a good selection of cleaners. but no dressing.
Amazon.com: 303 (30606) Fabric Guard - 32 fl. oz.: Automotive Amazon.com: 303 (30606) Fabric Guard - 32 fl. oz.: Automotive

Hope this helps a few.
Went in deeper to lube the pivot points and found this:



taped up the end to reduce damage


and this:


retaining screw is broken off and in a bad way


These are from the drivers side, Fun, Fun, Fun, Another project on the list.
Once the new parts are rounded up I will post a nice repair.
