Thanks chaps. Firstly I am not a 'maintenace sort' and secondly it would be only in emergencies I would erect the hood anyway or when staying at a hotel etc.
Everflex does shrink when cold but I doubt the car will ever get that cold.
I'll either replace like for like, but if I went dark red, it would be mohair otherwise it would look a bit plasticky...
Thanks as always
