While I have never changed the top on my car, and only nominally know one is in 
there, wasnâ??t it discussed here once that cloth tops are just bulky enough 
that they will not fit under the decorative â??doorsâ?? on Mk1 cars, and only 
fit Mk1-1/2 & Mk2? That said, Iâ??ve had cloth tops on other cars and I really 
like the results.
