Hey Bob,if your going to buy any top and you plan on keeping it more than 2 years don't get viynl.Spend a little extra and get sunbrella or sharkskin.About the only top you buy prefit will be a bimmini top.Anything else you will have to get custom made at a shop that makes them. There should be more than 1 local. Shop around for the price.<br /><br /> Jim

Sunbrella is the only way to go.It costs a little more but it looks like new for years and lasts forever.Charlie

I hear that sunbrella leaks when rained on and also can strech over time and flop in the wind.........no?
