SL/R107: Care of plastic window in soft top of '87 560SL

I use a spray called Plexus, but my top is only 5 yrs old and the window looks brand new. For a little TLC and restoration, use Plastic-X from Meguiars or the plastic cleaner from Griot's Garage. The Meguiars is probably easier to get. I also roll up a towel and put it in the fold of the plastic window when I put the top down to try to minimize creasing.

Thanks, Kevin. Very helpful. Do you happen to have photo of towel roll-up play to minimize creasing of soft top window when stowed? If not, is it large towel running full length of crease area? Again, thanks!

That link should have had some examples, but I use a smaller towel about 2 /12 feet long, rolled up length-wise just to lay in the area that folds. It ends up being a roll about 2" in diameter. Just enough to keep the window from doing an actual fold.
