Default Any Reason To Hesitate?

Any reason to hesitate in taking my soft top thru a "brushless car wash?"

I wouldn't think so, but I'll ask anyway..........

I take mine through brushless water only with the soft top on without issue. If it is one with the fabric strips to clean though that could still scratch the plastic windows.

I did once and the biggest problem I had was it pulled the handle open on my tire carrier and it damn near ripped my radio antenna off.

I take mine through the high pressure touchless all the time. I turn on the defroster full blast to create positive pressure and keep the water out.

I have a Trektop NX twill and take it through the Chevron car wash. bristles are kinda like a light rubber material. Trees have scratched my windows, so I dont worry about the brushes scratching them and I haven't noticed any new scratches. Also, I have never had a water leak with the trektop, really good product and seems to be just fine in the auto car wash.
