You could take it out and steam clean it, but its a bitch to get back in, or you could use some interior cleaner, dont know what the marks are so not sure what will get them out.

Thanks steve, I did try steam cleaning it in situ but it didn't work. If I was to take it out I would rather put a black msport one in.

I have tryde some Halfrauds cleaner but that didn't do it either.

Are there any details on changing the headlighning on the zone or web?

The recently mentioned Autoglym soft-top cleaner kit is good for cleaning roof linings as well.

Let me know if you decide to go for a black headlining as I have one I'm about to remove.

Cheers,
Chris
