Questions about Cali top

[2002mcs]

I am on the hunt for a 97 to 99 sport with 5 speed. I am also trying to decide if the California top is a must have option. I have not seen one in person, so I hope that some of you Cali owners can answer some questions that I have:

1) Is it a good design, ie weather tight and quiet when closed?
2) How is the underside finished? Fully lined?
3) What material is the top constructed of: vinyl or a dense weave fabric?
4) Can you run it through a car wash with no ill effect?

Thanks for the help and if anyone has a no excuses car that they want to sell, I am located in the midwest and will travel anywhere for the right car.

PS: silver, red or black only.
