Mike,
I think that you will find that it is a fibre glass one if it is part number
RL1542. It is not the same as the original in that the seals are more
'generic' in design and the headlining is 'composite' (probably brushed
nylon?). Have a close look at the picture in their catalogue. The choice is
yours in the end.
Regards
