Keep it clean and waterproofed.

If anything squeeks in the top mechanism, it needs lube.

Pump problems are mainly due to leaks and the fluid level getting low. Check the resevoir on the pump (under the carpet on the driver's side of the trunk). GM now recommends the use of mineral oil. Cycle it a couple times to get the air out of the system, then re-check level and fill as required.

Regarding RaggTop Fabric Top Protectant it works great and I'm pretty sure they make a cleaner too.
