These are the finest made Mercedes tops, by Germanex.
Materials Available:
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.
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.
German Sonnenland Canvas is the original German made canvas used in many Mercedes, Porsche, BMW and other convertibles. It's general construction is very similar to the other two canvases. It is hard to tell the surfaces apart among the three. But the manufacturing specifications make this the longest lasting top. There is an approximate twenty percent greater wear rating for Sonnenland than for Haartz Stayfast. Some of this is due to the abrasion resistance of the exterior canvas. This is a factor in certain tops where the framework design tends to produce friction between the top's surface and the car's hardware. (It is a well known 'trade secret' that the Haartz Division of Glen Raven Mills purchased the Sonnenland factory.)
Window:This top is made with a zippered plastic rear window.
when you order this top, please specify, in the checkout message, whether you want a gray or a tan vinyl window lining.
These tops are stapled, during installation, to wooden tacking forms, which are referred to as 'wood top bows' on the frame. We have accurate, sturdy, reproductions of the original wood forms, including the relief carvings which allow proper seating of these "bows" to the frame.
important: many of our customers are confusing the 220se with the later 220seb. Please make certain that your car's chassis number is 128 or 180. (if it is #111 then your car is an seb)
Raggtopp Cleaner and Protectant: We are now offering the Raggtopp products. If you can religiously clean your top (using very mild detergent and working in a shady area) you will not need to use the cleaner. The special treatment of the surface may deteriorate in a year or so, depending on the environment and care the top receives.
