Ok. I'm really going to show my naivety now. By maintenance, do you mean clean the weather strips on the car and top and apply the silicone to the strips to keep them from drying out and cracking?

The clear top came off pretty easily. I tried to be gentle with the white top, but it needed some effort to get on.

C2L would be a two/top car from production, 24S blue & 64S bronze

The clear top has the last 8 digits of the VIN etched on. There seems to be a "1" before the 1st digit. I'm not sure what that is. Where would I see the C2L, 24S, or 64S?
