About Our Suppliers

EZ ON: Based on its rapid expansion in the past decade, EZ ON Auto Tops, Inc. has been recognized as the world's fastest-growing manufacturer of replacement tops for both domestic and import cars. Since its founding in 1989, EZ ON Auto Tops has flourished through providing customers with excellent fitting tops at very competitive prices. Dollar for dollar, EZ ON's convertible tops have been proven to be the industry's best value.

In addition to ongoing expansion of its own primary product line, EZ ON has fueled growth through acquiring the resources of other respected firms. One recent example is bringing aboard and expanding our import car line to include Alfa Romeo, Austin Healy, Fiat, Jensen Healy, MG Series, and Triumph Series tops, all developed by Amco, a 50-plus year manufacturer of convertible tops.

Now armed with precision patterns and state-of-the-art equipment, EZ ON Auto Tops, Inc. enters the new millennium as the best source for virtually every application, domestic and import car.

About Robbins Auto Top Company: Since 1943, Robbins Auto Top Company has been committed to providing only the highest quality products and service to their customers. Through innovation, continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, and a highly skilled work force, they offer the highest quality products and level of service possible. Distinctive styling, fine custom workmanship and attention to detail are all benchmarks of Robbins Auto Top Company.

Owner Installation:
We have a step-by-step manual describing how to remove the old top and install the new one. The manual is clearly illustrated with our own installation pictures and accompanying step-by-step instructions. We believe that a patient do-it-yourselfer should be able to perform his or her installation. There is contact cement work, some tacking or stapling and the installation of pop rivets or sheet metal screws. There is no sewing.

We also maintain a tech support email where questions are answered daily. ( This is techsupport@mtmfg.com )

Fabrics:
The original topping was a black British vinyl. Our Colonial vinyl is an American made version. You can view the fabric via the swatch link on this page. We offer it in white and black.

We also offer the same top made with Haartz pinpoint vinyl. This fabric has identical physical properties as the Colonial but a different grain on the vinyl finish. It is available in more colors. You can view colors opposite the product description.

1971 Owners:
The 1971 tops on this page begins with cars with VIN# GHN 5U 223062G. If your 1971 has a lower VIN# then please go to the 1970 MGB tops page.

Windows:
Our tops are manufactured with three electronically welded plastic windows, or you can select the top with the zippered rear window (only side windows fully welded in.) Tops are dimensioned exactly as original. The unzippered rear window top is somewhat more durable top than a zippered window top. However if you wish to ventilate your car via the back while the top is up then you should select the zippered window version.

Tonneau Covers:
Replacement tonneau covers are offered too. Please see "Accessories."

Boots:
A top boot is an option. We offer replacement boots which attach as original. Select a color and specify it in the checkout message box.

CONVERTIBLE TOP FABRICS
Almost all manufacturers use Haartz fabrics. They may specify "heaviest weight" or "original replacement" in ways that seem reassuring. But they do not really tell the whole story. Please bear in mind that two things dominate, by far, the quality issue: (a) the manufacturing quality control in the factory that makes the top and (b) the care and thoroughness of the installation. There is a trade-off in weight: heavier is better for resisting tear through, but lighter is better for flexibility and abrasion from within that may arise from movement. Almost all our tops are a flexible medium density (36 oz.) fabric. Heavier is not better in most cases. Where it is, because of the top design, we will say so and the top will be made of the heavier vinyl.
Warranties outlined here are only applicable for products installed by a professional trim shop or professional upholstery shop. For Convertible Tops, and related products, the manufacturer will void the warranty for any product that is not professionally installed; manufacturer defects are covered by the warranty in such cases. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage due to improper installation.
