1995-98 Porsche 993, 911 Carrera Cabrio Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts
Important Information
Fabrics: The original fabric for these Porsche Cabriolet tops was German Sonnenland canvas.
The "A5" designation refers to the modern Porsche Sonnenland canvas which has a subtly different feel, a silkier texture, than the old Sonnenland. This is the same fabric as used by Porsche.
Sonnendeck Canvas (also called 'Twillfast') is an American made canvas, true double texture topping like the Haartz Stayfast. Many purists who own Mercedes and other German cars want to see the particular German weave (that is called "dobby weave") when they look up inside the car. Haartz Stayfast canvas has a plain (unwoven) inner lining. So for Porsche, Mercedes and BMW owners who will spend a little more in order to see that "dobby" weave we offer a fabric called Sonnendeck (in addition to the original German Sonnenland or Happich canvas. The wear rating of Sonnendeck is also greater than for Haartz, by perhaps 10%. This is due to the slightly heavier inner lining and subtle bonding specification differences.
Haartz Stayfast Canvas has a canvas outer layer and a preshrunk cotton inner layer. The two are bonded with and separated by a butyl rubber core. It is this core that makes the fabric last a very long time, with both better static and dynamic wear ratings than vinyl toppings. Haartz Stayfast is the American substitute for the German canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, some models of Mustang and Lebaron and others. Canvas is widely regarded as "richer looking" than vinyl. It is a little harder to clean. The inside of the top is pre-shrunk cotton. The inner lining is usually black.
Window: Our tops are made with the green plastic rear window with factory zipper as is original.
Headliner: The inner fabric ceiling portion, called the headliner, is sold separately. Headliners are listed with "Accessories." Our tops are made with the original zipper so that the original headliner may be re-applied, or a replacement headliner which we supply.
