FWIW, mine (Al Knoch vinyl, self installed) doesn't flutter at any speed I've driven with the top up...around 100, let's say.

How many hours do you have into the job? What were the biggest hurdles for you?

It seems to be a lot tougher than the vinyl. The vinyl could be torn by hand once you cut it with a knife. I don't think you could tear this Stayfast material in the same way. I can already tell that it is going to be a more quiet ride with this material.

Man that looks great!
That is what I was considering doing on mine. Now that I see the results, I am definitely doing it.
Be sure and let us know your impressions on how it sounds on the freeway vs the vinyl top.
