Not wanting to hijack a thread, but I've got the rear window separating at the top center and have tried multiple things but only continue to make it worse. Also have the lines like yours in my canvas. I'm wondering on a total replace cost. And does that include the liner or are they separate items? I've queried some online top shops but no one carries a 2009 DB9 top yet. All have told me its a dealer only item for now.

On the maintenance side I've got a product from Chemical Guys that I use twice a year to seal the top and it beads up fairly nicely.

Not for the faint of heart, but I have re-glued convertible windows. Prep is vital and the best product I've found is 3M 5200, a marine sealant that sticks to anything..
PM me if you would like help.

I don't think the lines are dirt. Just creases that can be found on any Aston top, even those that are fairly new. They pretty much all look 'dirty' or stained after some use. Check out photos of those for sale, esp the C pillar area.
