Convertible Top and Convertible Top Parts

Saab Convertible Top Key Features:
Quality:
 Made to original specs, 100% fit guarantee.
Original Configuration: Factory top was German Sonnenland canvas in black or dark blue. The top is designed to reuse your glass. Replacement glass is available (defroster glass.) EZ-On and Robbins tops have window alignment marks. Made with original-style double fold binding
Alternate Fabric: Haartz Stayfast canvas
About These Fabrics: In appearance the two canvas toppings are extremely difficult to tell apart! The original Sonnenland canvas has a special woven bottom face (inner lining) that adds to its wear rating.
All seams are doubly electronically welded and sewn for added reinforcement. Convertible top fabrics are mildew & mold resistant, and UV treated for color fastness. Plastic windows are DOT rated heavy 40 gauge thick vinyl.
Installation: Professional installation is suggested. Do It Yoiurself installation is recommended only for handy meticulous restorers. Our manual is a 12 page fully illustrated step by step guide. It covers the top and headliner removal and installation and the glass fitment fully. You will need snap ring pliers and a rivet gun and aluminum rivets.
Finding an Installer: If you need a professional installer go to your internet search bar and enter "automobile upholstery shops near me." You should get a listing of nearby car upholstery shops (not all shops do tops.)
Shop with confidence:  EZ-On Tops Come with a 3 year manufacturer warranty plus 18 month labor allowance.

Important Information

Original Factory Color(s): Black and Blue

Headliner:
The headliner is the interior roof covering. The old headliner, if in good condition, may be re-installed under a new top. Headliners are listed under "Accessories." We have the original gray over taupe cloth fabric replacement.

Care in Raising and Lowering Top:
We pass on advice from Saab dealer service bulletins: raise and lower your top carefully. Abrasion and pinching have caused premature damage to these Saab tops due to the frame design.

Hold Down Cables:
During installation a cable is threaded into in interior (cable pocket) hem on each side of the top. The cables attach the front and rear corners of the top to the framework. New cables are listed under "Accessories" and are included in our complete packages.

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.
