Default S2K Tops

Are the convertible tops on the S2000 a vinyl or fabric?

Wanted to use 303 on it but they make two diff kinds, a fabric guard and of course the popular 303 protectant.

Thanks,

Use the 303 Aerospace protectant. If you look at the bottle, it'll tell you what to use it on(which is everything) and how to do it.

I put that stuff on my wheels like the directions say to...we'll see how it works.

Everyone tells me the top is vinyl, but it certainly looks like fabric to me. I haven't purchased anything yet, because it is hard to believe that is vinyl. Is it a woven vinyl to make it look like cloth?

Before the vinyl is finished curing, they add a textured look to its surface. That's what gives it the "woven" look.

"Manufacturing involves an extrusion process then topcoating followed by an embossing process. It is the embossing process that provides the desired texturing
