I'd be cautious of any product containing bleach, if the top is sewn with cotton thread. I'd worry about weakening the thread. Not sure, but I think Westleys contains chlorine, too.

So I think what I should do is mix up 1.5 cups of water, 3/4 cup of purple power, 1/4 cup BLUE dawn and a bit of the TSP, say 3 tablespoons and test it on a patch, say under the rear window.
Will mask off the rest of the car with tarps and covers to protect the paint. Maybe put a small sprinkler on for 5/10 mins to really loosen up whatever could be in the top, then go to town with a Magic Eraser and the solutions.
Will keep you guys informed.
Thanks for the input, John
