Ross:

That is a good observation. Unless what you want is a trailer queen to haul back and forth to shows, as opposed to a real driving car, then weak fabrics are not optimal. I had an old Ford for awhile with a cloth interior and like your description of the star fabric, it began to split and fray even in places where no one sat. The black cloth currently in my Clipper does not contain stars, but it is of good quality and strong. I think I'd be a bit hesitant to replace a good interior with a weak one. My Clipper is a driving machine, not a show boat.
