cabrio material help!!

[Laura]

I'm shopping for a new top for my vert. I've seen some that are pinpoint vinyl, twillfast cloth, and stayfast cloth. Which of these have people had experience with and would recommend? I would like to stay with cloth, but the vinyl ones I found have a zip in rear window, which would be very convenient when it needs to be replaced. Haven't been able to find cloth ones with zip in windows. any help is greatly appreciated!

I would stick to cloth. What vendor are you using?

I have the ez-on top in German Clothe. This one is the oem replacement. My previous top had a zip in window but was pointless because once it's time to replace the window, the top has shrunk so much which made it practically impossible to replace. I had to sew in the window until I replaced the top.

You can find the tops with new tension straps/wires on ebay.

I haven't heard good things about the sierra tops.

If I was going to put one on my car I'd get it from kee or electron.

This is the one I plan on installing as mine came from the factory with a tan top according to the vin decoder I have used....
