Michael,
The original lining in my hard top was a white perforated vinal.
On another top I aquired, the liner had been replaced with solid black
vinal. Looked good, but one minor problem: At 65 to 70+ mph the air
built up behind the liner and it ballooned down. Perfect speedometer,
When your head is smashed with the top liner then you know that you are
exceeding the speed limit. Use perforated lining material. I use that top
on my Alpine that seldom gets over 55.
