Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts

Original Material: The original material was black or white crush grain vinyl. We also offer some nice alternative materials with a wider color selection.

About The Materials:

Haartz Pinpoint Vinylis the most popular fabric. This vinyl 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.

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.

Chrysler Sailcloth is featured on many late LeBarons, Sebrings, certain Mustangs and other cars. It is structurally (wear quality) equivalent to the Haartz Pinpoint but has a different surface grain. The grain was designed to imitate the look of canvas. As you can see from the scan of this fabric, it is an exceptionally rich looking material. It is sometimes chosen for replacing convertible tops that originally featured pinpoint vinyl.

Crush Grain Vinyl is similar to pinpoint vinyl but has a different texture, view swatch above.

4 Ply Crush Grain Tops are made with a vinyl outer and cloth inner layer, bonded with a central layer. For somewhat greater longevity for off road users, you may select a 4 ply (extra central layer) top.

Installation: This top installs fairly easily and the steps are covered in the owner's manual.

I love my top for the Tracker. It made my car look like new. I am a 70 year old female and installed it by myself with no problems. It went on smooth and easy. The instructions were so great that I actually figured out how to remove the entire back window that I had been unzipping and tucking in due to not know how to completely remove. Thanks for a great product.....J.F., Rahway, NJ
