Hey guys, this question is for the vert owners,

Is the cloth top worth the extra $300? what are the advantages over the normal one from factory?

Thanks!

 

It is if you want just about every debri flying on roads sticking to it. It looks a lot nicer in the showroom though.

Just keep it parked away from them nasty bird droppings.

 

Looks a lot more classy in my opinion. A lint roller is necessary to keep it looking good.

 

hmmm thanks guy!

 

I think the cloth looks a lot better. I believe it will last longer too. I had cloth on another car and still did well after 20 years. I would be concerned that the vinyl will crack from constant folding long before the cloth does.

 

I totally agree

Although mine is not a DD, the cloth top looks so much nicer than vinyl and is really not that hard to maintain.

 

I have a cloth top on mine and it well worth the $$. Run a vacuum over it from time to time is all you need to keep it clean.

 

how would the cloth top feel about winter snow and salt??

 

Just go to the car wash periodically. I've have a cloth top on my 2001 BMW 330ci. Once in a while I vacumm it with a beater bar attachment from my vaccum. Heck you can even clean it with a carpet cleaner attachment. Still looks new after 9 years.

 

Just don't let the cat sleep on top of the car. LOL

 

the stangs going to be a summer only car, so im not to worried about keeping it look nice, I just wanted to make sure the 300 bucks was worth it, and it seems as though it defiantly is! haha

 

Just remember one thing with any convertible top: only get a black top. Having had 3 convertibles in the past--two of which were tan tops--I have learned that no matter how hard you try, you just can't keep a tan top clean and looking good. No matter what the interior color is, make sure the top is black.
