I suspect that you will also have the grey fold marks like most of us. If you use the search there are numerous threads on restoring the colour. Quite a few have used Renovo Fabric Soft Top Reviver with some degree of success http://www.renovointernational.com/products/reviver.php it will restore the black colour. Just make sure you dont get the vinyl roof stuff.
Hi guys, newcommer here 
Great forum.
I just restored by soft-top using Renovo. The cleaner, revivier(colour dye) and the ultra-proofer. It came out perfect You have to work quickly with the dye making sure the edges don't dry as this will cause tide marks. Keep refreshing the edges as you go. A few words from experience. Clean the top twice. Let the cleaner soak in for an hour first time then rinse with buckets of water apply cleaner again and leave for 20 mins second time. On the final rinse before applying renovo reviver don't just rinse with buckets of water as shown on the Renovo youtube vids, this WILL NOT REMOVE THE CLEANER COMPLETELY!. I found this out the hard way. I gently jet washed the cleaner out then let the top dry completely. I took the motor for a spin to speed up the drying time. I used the Renovo ultra proofer, but it didn't really work that well, probably needed another coat but I used the autoglym protector as I've had great results with this before, don't use the cleaner prior to the protector if you applying it to the newly coloured top. The autoglym protector is applied to the wet roof. Works better than Renovo ultra proofer imho. The top looks new I'll post some pics when the cars up to spec. Doing a lot of work on it atm.
