Vinyl or mohair

Post

Back to the top
Hi guys its on my list to do but thought i would ask the experts what would you go for.

I'm not sure if i should have vinyl or mohair.

The car will be only used for occasional driving and i do have a cover for it so not sure if the more costly mohair will be worth the extra cash.

Look forward to your responses

I debated this a bit earlier in the year

In the end i opted for a vinyl in grey to put my car back to original

My previous cabriolet had a mohair and it was nice, although much harder to keep clean or get bird poop off it, and it attracted cats!

I paid £152 from BAS international in the uk for vinyl and it is superb

I fitted it myself

All i will say is if you do this make sure you read the guides and trim off all the excess material on the rear inner seam and tonneau hooks! Make slife a lot easier!

Shouldn't be any difference in cost between the two materials.

Mohair always used to cost more but is much more widely used these days so is more affordable.

Mohair is a better material, vinyl isn't used on any cars anymore and for once it isn't just a cost cutting exercise

Depends on the color of the oem top and the look you are after….

both install the same, and both have the same life expectancy.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
