I refurbushed my poptop last summer, here are some photos:

Thoroughly cleaned,, applied 303 Protectant and finished with a light coat
of wax. New seals, decals, and stainless hardware on the luggage rack. Cost
about $200, mostly for the OEM German poptop and luggage rack seal.
Probably about 30 hours of labor.

I wish I had some before photos, it was pretty ugly, top was black with
gunk, van has lived outside under trees the past 3 years.
