Just purchased the vinyl for our top yesterday. Here are a few threads you might want to check out:

Also, my brother used vinyl for the roof of his cabin car. He's very happy with it.

What a great idea to snap over and have a full moon/sun roof whenever you want :applause: !

My friend Kate loves her vinyl roof. Used velcro/snap combination so she could roll the roof back on a nice camping night! 2+ years and no problems.

Just like Zach's set up. Joann Fabrics always has a 40% off coupon almost every other week.

A different vinyl option.
Marine grade exterior vinyl "flooring" glued down over epoxy treated plywood.

I've used vinyl on two of my three builds. Here is the Widget in Tennessee.
