Piet,
	I think that most of us on the list (correct me if I'm wrong) use
Meguiar's #40 vinyl cleaner and conditioner on the tops. I had my car in 
Wisconsin for two winters (one parked on the street, the second in a garage)
and I had no problems with brittle fabric, glued seams, or with the window. I
should point out that we had quite a few below zero (F) days last winter (and
I was out driving - I have only the soft top). The day I remember most was just
after Christmas I was driving to DC - at 7am when I left it was -18F and windy,
I was also driving 70mph - very chilly - and the heater kept me plenty warm!
	I don't know if Meguiar's is available in Belgium. Maybe some of the
other European subscribers can provide an alternative.
