	Vinyl roof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vinyl roofs were most popular in the American market, and they are considered one of the period hallmarks of 1970s Detroit cars.
		Vinyl roofs were also very popular on European- (especially UK-) and Japanese-built cars during the 1970s, and tended to be applied to sporting or luxury trim versions of standard saloon (sedan) models by pretty much the whole gamut of manufacturers.
		Probably the first modern vinyl roof as it would later be accepted, though, appeared as an option on the 1961 Ford Thunderbird, a car which also re-introduced landau bars as a styling touch.

	Vinyl Roofing
		Vinyl roofs are typically white, grey or tan, and hence tend to reflect heat away from building rooftops and reduce the amount of heat that enters a building.
		Vinyl roofing membranes can be designed to resist wind uplift, structural movement and harsh outdoor elements; in addition, vinyl's inherent durability and the strong reinforcement fabric used in such membranes further enhances vinyl's performance.
		Vinyl roofing systems are subjected to a battery of tests designed to measure thickness of the membrane, tensile strength, water absorption, thermal stability, seam strength and other performance criteria.

	The Vinyl Institute - News Center - Reflective Vinyl Roofs Save Energy
		Measured at the plenum between the roof and the ceiling, average temperatures were reduced from 101° F to 95° F. Scientists concluded that installation of the white vinyl roof would save the building’s owners about 63 megawatt hours of energy consumption per year, with annual energy- and peak-demand savings of about $7,200.
		In addition, vinyl roofing membranes have a documented performance track record that exceeds 30 years, and are inherently fire resistant, exceeding current standards and providing an extra measure of safety over the alternatives.
		Finally, vinyl roofing membranes can also be found as a component in "green roofs," which consist of a multi-layer soil and drainage system upon which vegetation can grow on urban roofs.

		A white roofing surface gave us the reflectivity we needed to reduce heat gain within the building and the potential for the urban heat island effect.

	Model Car Tech: Vinyl Tops
		Vinyl tops gained popularity with Detroit automakers around 1963, and were a common site on a wide variety of cars right up until the late 1980's.
		Vinyl tops came in many tones and textures (even alligator grain and those zany Mopar Modtops!), but a nice coat of semi-gloss fl or white will add just the right amount of contrast to your musclecars unique base color.
		I've seen some vinyl tops done with paint only, applied with texturing from an airbrush, and it is a very convincing method as well.

		However, those sheets of vinyl that covered your musclecar from its creation until now have been subjected to at least 25 years of wear, and the effects of sunlight, weather, and general use often leave them in need of repair.
		If not, plan on spending some time removing the trim, scraping the old roof and the residual glue, and prepping the roof like you would any other surface to be painted, stopping at the sanded primer stage.
		Determine where the window moulding is mounted, cut a small slit in the vinyl, and then place a cut in the material along the moulding line about two inches in from each side, before the inside radius at the top of the flying buttress drops down.
