Not that I am close to putting a new top on my fleetwood yet.
I removed the shredded kleenx original and noticed this is a one year only deal. that usually means $$
Anyone put a white top on theirs recently ( What material is that?) and how did it go?

Paul,

The top material was a one year only pattern unique to this model. The pattern resemble, a small lizard grain leather. It was available in 15 color, including Olympic White, to match just about any shade someone might want on a Fleetwood. I’m not aware of anyone reproducing it. You might try Jenkins as a first inquiry. Although I would not rule out the other usual suspect that claim to have authentic Cadillac materials. Also, there is a company that advertises in Hemmings (North or South Carolina) claiming to have just about any vinyl top material. I do not have the name handy, but a buddy found an obscure pattern material for a Continental MK IV. If you can’t finds them write me off line and I’ll try to get the contact information.

HTH,
Ralph
