When I replaced the (non-standard) deckchairs in my 73 Roadster I
used the 73 GT covers which were fabric facings with vinyl sides and
backs, rather than the correct covers with knitted vinyl facings.
This was for the reasoms mentioned earlier - comfort in the summer as
it is mainly a summer car. I suppose the reason the GT and Roadster
were different in the first place was one of practicality if (when)
the car gets caught in the rain with its covers down. In six years
the black fabric does not appear to have faded at all.
