Well, I guess everything could be based on opinion...but the consensus is..sailclioth is much quiter...less flap, fits better, looks better, UV resistant
Vinyl cracks (can)when cold, UV will tear it up over time ,flaps more....looks..... well, is subject to more opinion.
It does clean well, er as clean as white can be. The sailcloth white is whiter than vinyl white. (I dont know if thats good or bad) Sailcloth is very Uv resistant but needs proper care to help with keeping it clean
Also something to think about.......factory upgrade from ford on the mustangs -vinyl to sailcloth.....
But anyways, I'm not here to pour salt into a wound. Vinyl was bought and vinyl should have been delivered. I personally would question the choice of a white top but thats my opinion.
