Original Fabrics:The original dealer top fabric was Haartz Stayfast canvas.
About The Material(s):
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. If you do not see a canvas top listed for your car, please inquire and we will provide a quotation for it.
Alternate Material(s): Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl. For cost savings Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl�s design is original to most American cars from the fifties to the nineties. Pinpoint refers to the little dots or pips that you see if you look closely at the vinyl surface. European cars, such as the old Beetles and others also used pinpoint vinyl as the topping fabric.
Window:
The original window is glass we also offer plastic.
Original Configuration:
As originally designed, our tops are made in two parts which are integrated during the installation. They are the main top and the rear window section. Either may be ordered separately, or the two parts may be ordered together for a full restoration.
Two part tops are not too difficult to install. A summary of the process is given at the link on this page. Installation involves stapling (or tacking) and the use of contact cement (or slower setting cements.) There is no sewing.
Do It Yourself Installation:
Installation is not beyond the capabilities of a patient handy person. We endeavor to answer customers' installation questions at our tech support email address: techsupport@mtmfg.com. Our top packages include a Solara top installation booklet, and may also be ordered by customers ordering a top or one of the two parts of a new top.
Hold Down Cables:
Cables are embedded in the main top's cable pockets and fasten the top, at the front and rear corners above the side window (on the folding top frame. New cables are recommended with each top.
