I have a Caribou top.
Nice quality but it is NOT cloth. It is a cloth look-a-like nylon.
The sun is killing it colorwise. It used to be Navy blue.
It is a tight fit, the women in this household can not fasten the snaps.
It is about 1 year old now. I can't wait for it to rip so I can get a useable,
colorfast vinyl top like I used to have.
It is stunning in appearance. No rips after 1 year even when you use plyers to
get the snaps fastened. It is better now that I replaced the frame with a
shorter frame from an earlier Sprite but it;s still real tight. 
I would not buy another Caribou top simply because of the fit.
You can not return the top if you started installing it.
You will not know it is short unless you install it.
