Good morning all,
I am in the process of starting to look for a new top for my wifes 76 B. I was leaning towards the cloth type top as I think it may look nicer then the vinyl. I would like to ask your input as you all know more about this then I do. Can you give me some insight on the pros and cons of the cloth type versus the vinyl?
Thank you in advance for your advice, it is always very much appreciated.
Best regards
Tom

I got a canvas top for my '73 about 4 years ago, and it is superior to vinyl in every way. Much better looking, easier to put up/take down when weather is cold or hot, completely water-tight, etc. My opinion- well worth the extra $.

My 74's cloth top seems much more quite than the 77's vinyl top.

Well, I agree that a cloth top looks much better than the original vinyl top, but there certainly is a price difference. Besides that, you should be aware of the fact that vinyl tops are easier to clean than cloth tops. so, if you car is outside a lot (and you have f.e. birds targeting your car with their shit) you might take this into account.
