All the top treatment in the world will not add back the worn away nap.

My 8 year old OEM vinyl top also had thin, worn areas from being folded. I've had the Robbins cloth top for almost 1 year; very tight fit. it looks good so far.

I like my canvas top... The previous owner had it installed, so I can't say that I had a choice... Looks great...

The only thing that MIGHT be an issue, but I am not sure, is that I think the canvas may be made of a slightly thicker material which makes it almost impossible to get the tonneau cover snapped into place... Maybe it is also impossible with the stock top (I don't have the luxury of trying)...but I know that if someone laid a million dollars on the table and told me that I could take the money if I could get my tonneau cover properly in place, I wouldn't be leaving with the money...that's for sure!

What if there was a bucket of Popeye's fried chicken on the table too? That might give the extra needed motivation to get that cover on.

Robins top is an upgrade to the OEM IMO, it just looks so much nicer.

I have the GAHH top, it's slightly thicker than OEM, and fits very well, it's not cheap, but worth every penny IMO.

Finally put the top down, and back up, last night. Still looks good. It certainly was still a bit tight but no severe problems getting it re-latched.
