Thanks for the comments! Im not sure where that M badge came from but its coming off. The rear seat is a problem but 1st im going to mod the vert top motor as described in http://www.e30ic.com/powertop.htm. The top works great but im not taking any chances.
I am enjoying having a vert. I totally recommend it. :)Comment

Let me know how the top motor reinforcement works out. I have a bad motor and will be doing this as well at some point. So I am interested in A: Time it takes to ship and recieve. B> Quality of part.
If the armature has not broken off of the mounting point I dont see any reason to perform this modification. Its alot of work for a top motor that works. I have no choice as mine is broken. This issue only occurs when someone stops the opening or closing cycle in "mid stream" and then tries to restart the process. So as long as you keep the button pressed to lower and raise till the end of the sequences - i.e. top flap opening top lowering etc. you should be fine.Comment

All the vinyl was washed with a very small amount of dishsoap in warm water. Then, I used toothbrushes, toothpicks, and q-tips on most everything plastic and started scrubbing. I even used it on the steering wheel and shifter which are leather (this proved to be gross.) Nastiness was just caked on. I couldn't believe how may terry cloths I went thru to clean this. Thank goodness I had a pile of clean ones.
The leather was treated with Lexol products. First the cleaner, then the conditioner. I was pleased with their products. they did come clean and they dont feel like cardboard anymore.
I did use Lexol vinyl cleaner/conditioner on the rest of the plastics.
