Does a Mohair fabric top attach to the header rail the same as vinyl? If so, do you use the same adhesive? PJ
 
I don't see why not. Just be sure it has a backing so the glue does not bleed through. Might want to also order a fabric sample from Moss (or maybe a few) and experiment.
 
I'm going to order a Mohair top from Prestige. Their made in England and are supposed to be of a high quality. We'll see. My top developed a crack in the right side window. Other than that, it looks like new. Problem was, it was in the box for ten years on the shelf. The plastic lost some of it's flexibility in that time.

I know it well. I have a Prestige mohair boot cover for my B; very happy with it so far. It's about 6 years old and looks like the day I bought it. Many people comment on the material at shows.

I'd be surprised if Prestige isn't the supplier to Moss...

That might be Scott, but Moss doesn't list the mohair top, at least I couldn't find it, but most important of all is Prestige's price is much lower than the Moss sale price on the Sun-Fast top, so I'm assuming they are the same on the mohair. And that includes shipping.
 
Sunfast and Mohair are two different materials, AFAIK. Mohair is more expensive, but they both have the same canvas look to them. The stuff wears like iron.
