To add a little more left field to this discussion -
A few years ago I was using a Mk2 Ghia as a motorkhana car and the inside part of the vinyl roof was dead (the bit between the seams. After removing that section only, I left the glue on and painted the whole roof (remaining vinyl sections and the gluey centre section - black... Funny thing was you could only tell the difference between the 2 parts if you knew and were within 1m of it..... Alot of people did not believe me - even when I told them - so I recon the paint roller trick would fool 99% of people and no rust issues either...
Seriously - Why do you want a vinyl roof. They were very rare on the 2Dr cars, very 70's ish and best way to rust out the roof / pillars underneath... They alos dont quite look right on a 2Dr as they do on a 4Dr, but that is in the eye of the beholder. On the plus side you can rest your tool boxes on the roof without having to worry about the paint though...!
