Well my factory vinyl top was leaking at the back glass, it was seperating from the top and leaking water all in the car. Had to get it replaced so decided to go with a cloth top. I really like it compared to the old one. The back glass actually has a rubber seal and is stitched so it should hold up better. Any tips for maintaining a rag top?

Some pics. :)

That looks awesome!

Just my :2cents: worth of advice...do not let the car sit with the top down for long periods of time (like overnight, or all day while you are at work). My previous car was an 07 GT/CS Vert, and the previous owner must have done this, because it left marks on the cloth top where you could see where it had been folded. I was never able to get rid of them and it drove me crazy!

Top looks good. My top is on order, as I went with the Premium Twill from Robbins. Surprised my 06GT top has lasted this long. Worse part is getting the back glass re-tinted.

Top looks very, very good. Where did you get it install, it looks very tight too...and how much, if I may ask.

Local mom and pop place did it. $1380 with tax installed and out the door. Dropped it off on Wednesday morning and picked it up Friday morning. They did an excellent job installing it, was a good experience all around.

Thanks! I have that ragtop cleaner that the shop gave me. Going to look into some of that 303 protectant, wonder if there is something similar I can find at a local store.
