Question Cloth or Vinyl Roof?

I have ordered a GT vert and am wondering on whether to go cloth or vinyl top. I understand the cloth is better looking and is the same material as used on the Jag so has some history but what about durability staining, fading ,etc.

Which way should I go and why?

Ordered:

Tungsten Grey GT
5 speed stick
IUP - aluminum panel
Color Accent Package - black & dove
Side air bags

They only had vinyl for 2006 - so far it has held up quite well and really looks great. My previous car had a cloth top (99 Sebring) and it has worn quite well. Given the choice, I think cloth looks better, but your best bet is to try to see two side by side or at least see each one on a mustang and go with what you like.

Cloth all the way baby. It looks so much better than the vinyl and it is easier to clean.

My '05 has the vinyl roof, but I ordered the cloth on the '07. The cloth roof makes the 'stang look much more refined and stylish IMO.

I've had my cloth top for a couple weeks now. I love it.
