Default 2002 vert top

In two of the roof cleaning web sites (RaggTopp and Zaino) both refer to a table that says refer to GM dealer about what was used on the composition of roof in 2002 models.....cloth -vs- vinyl. I guess both were used?? Anybody ever inquired to GM about their 2002?? Cloth or vinyl? I guess RaggTopp makes a product that you can use on both. Thanks!

I can't answer your question specifically, but I've been using Ragg Topp on my 2000 with good results. I realize thats not the focus of your question.....but Ragg Topp is a quality product.

You may want to try posting over in the Car Care Forum. One of those guys can probably answer your question.

My 02 has a cloth soft top. It's fairly obvious from the feel and I use the appropriate Ragg Top for the cloth.

Cloth tops only. In fact, I can't think of any C5's that would've had vinyl.

Its very, very easy to tell the difference between the vinyl and the cloth when you put a white top next to either a black or tan.

I agree the white tops were vinyl and the Black and Lt. Oak - as well as the Shale tops on the 50th Anniversary cars and the '04 Commemorative cars had cloth. There are no vinyl tops on the C6's.

As usual you guys have been very helpful. Thanks for input and I guess I'm lucky that our cat doesn't sleep on top of the 2002!
