I'm looking to buy a new top. And theres a guy that has a top. But he says its "cloth"... I didnt think they made a cloth top for the stang. If so does anyone a have pics of 1? Are they good to have vs. the vinyl top? Or should I just get a vinyl top?

Thanx

I would think vinyl would be stronger. Maybe he meant vinyl when he said cloth.

Cloth doesn't sound right to me.

Welcome, btw.

They use cloth tops in higher end cars, they sound proof better and they look better than vinyl. I think the '03 Cobra and the GT500 have cloth tops.

I'd like to see one on a Fox though.

i always thought that the cloth tops were better. more maintance keeping them clean and mold and mildew free but that can happen with a vinal top too. the cloth wouldnt be as apt to rip or shrink in cold weather.

They may be available aftermarket for the Fox but stock, the Fox cars came with vinyl tops. Ask for pics, it is easy to tell vinyl from cloth tops.

Unless we're talking about making records ... Vinyl = poop.

Cloth would be nice, but I would NEVER wanna have a WHITE cloth-topped 'vert. The vinyl ones are hard enough to keep clean. Can you imagine trying to keep bird poop stains and whatever else from ruining a cloth top in white?

Cloth tops are waaaay classier than vinyl tops. I would definatly get one if you can afford it. Any mercedes or BMW or Jag convertables have cloth tops.

I have searched this before and can only find black and tan tops for foxs in cloth, no white that I could find online.
