Need some pros and cons of vinyl or cloth top use.
I'm ready to put a top on my 89 and have found both types. What are some of the advantages or disadvantages to either other than keeping it stock.

Well I love the leather in my 92 vert. But vinyl could be a different beast. I hate the vinyl seats in my other car, to the point i'm getting cloth seats. If my maro had vinyl or cloth, i'd try to go a leather route.

I do hear a lot about people pushing new vinyl vs. new leather. Supposedly newer leather isn't to the same standards as older ones. There's a new process where they can cut the leather thinner.

There's some camaro girl you could send your seats to get leathered.

THe cloth is correct for the car and in my experience outlasts the vinyl. The only time I would personally suggest vinyl is if you plan to put on a top that is a light color - the vinyl is easier to clean well and light colors will show the dirt/stains more.

I went with cloth. As stated, its factory correct and lasts a lot longer.

added bonus is you can buy one with a glass rear window

go with the cloth. The vert I bought has a new vinyl and I hate the look. Even with it being brand new Id rather the cloth top with a junk back window then this new vinyl top.

Thank You, Yes, I was referring to the top and not the interior. Guess I didn't make that point clear. Just thought since it is a convert topic ?? OH well....

Ya'll raised some very good points and think I'll stay with the cloth.
