I have never used it on the rubberized canvasses that are on the Swiss trucks and newer cab tops. Not quite sure how it will work on that. We do use the 303 Protectant on the rubberized canvas tops with excellent results. Wipe on in the garage using a sponge and work it in. Leave overnight and towel dry in the morning. Great results.

Does anyone have any details on the rolled 406 at NWMF? I saw it upside down but never did hear how it happened.

Upside down, the hand was pinched between the tubing and the ground. It was a "guest driver", as I understood things at the scene... Both were fortunate to have walked away from that one, since the windshield frame and canvas top totally collapsed under the weight of the U-900. Also fortunate was the fact that there was a substantial roll bar behind the seats.
