Common Reasons behind Geo Tracker Soft Top Problems

Your Geo Tracker's soft top is crafted and engineered to provide your car optimum mildew resistance. Also, with water-tight sealed seams, your soft top gives you an additional defense against leaks. However, this part will eventually undergo wear and tear and can cause all sorts of issues ranging from early corrosion to staining or discoloration. If you think your car's soft top is already at the edge of its service life, then better perform some troubleshooting. Listed below are some of the common problems encountered by Geo Tracker soft tops and the reasons behind them:

Green spots on the soft top

Those green spots on your Geo Tracker's soft top could be molds. These fungi usually thrive in a warm and damp setting. You see, the molds may have grown because your soft top was not dried up after it was cleaned. This problem is usually present in corroding soft tops. When left unchecked, your soft top becomes susceptible to damage, making it an easy host for molds and fungi. Luckily, these signs of damage are easily detectable. Even though these green spots may not be as serious as they look, it is advisable to remove them right away with the use of the right cleaning tools. Use only color safe bleach if the top is made of fabric, while ordinary bleach may be applied if the top is made of vinyl.

Unexplained leaking

Your Geo Tracker is generally built for sunny days. So when they are stored improperly, they can cause leaking and even let cold air and noise inside the auto. Fortunately, these leaks are easily detectable and repaired. You can simply check your auto's interior if water is present. It is best to check the soft tops once in a while and apply waterproofing if leaks are at hand.

Early wear and tear

A possible culprit behind a faster soft top wearing is improper caring and maintenance. The easiest way to diagnose the early deterioration of your Geo Tracker's soft top is by visual inspection. Luckily, this is done without the help of complicated and expensive tools. You see, early wear and tear is attributed to dirt build up. When left not cleaned, a dirty soft top loses its durability and will exhibit signs of discoloration and early wear and tear.
