Bruce..
It's funny, but I have heard both sides of the story here on the net.
Some think Armor-All is the best thing since sliced bread, and others
this it is the devil incarnate. I recently re-did my tonneau by
putting in some new zippers, and fixing up some of the seams. =20
Looks great! Thanks for the info..

Dave;
I've been using Armor-All on mine once a year for 14 years, no shrinkage =
or damage of any sort. In fact, it looks like new. Only the thread has =
deteriorated- time to sit down with a needle and some synthetic thread =
and redo the stitches.

Doh!!!
Does Armor All really cause shrinkage of
vinyl?? (He asks as he has recently soaked
his Midget tonneau...) I might have
one for your collection in a few months!
