Default Differences between using Vinyl & mohair roof.

1995 Escort SI Cabrio 1.8. I require to change roof on car. What is the difference between using a vinyl roof and a mohair roof? Is the mohair roof harder to keep clean? Is the mohair roof more flexible to use compared to vinyl when using often in good weather?

if looked after right, a mohair roof should last longer, they look better too. the vynil roofs just end up fading and cracking., rip easier
for all it costs extra id go mohair

I agree with the above. I have a mohair roof on mine... its looks 10 times better than the old viny roof. Well worth payin a bit extra for. l
