About the Glass Window
Years of development and engineering went into this convertible top window bonding method. The objective was to design and develop a manufacturing method and process that would virtually eliminate window separation or leaking….the number one failure for glass window convertible tops. The result was a patented production technology that involves wrapping the fabric around an internal ring that adheres to the glass. A new bonding agent was specially created by 3M engineers based on military specification during the development phase to ensure this adhesive, when applied in a multi-step automated process, could withstand extreme tension in all temperatures.
To ensure the exact quantity, placement and even distribution of adhesive during the production process, a entirely new manufacturing system had to be invented. And, since not all convertible top windows are the same, unique tooling had to be engineered and manufactured to ensure the ring and window lined up perfectly every time as the bonding agent is applied by the robot. The multiple steps, or phases, in the production process match the custom engineered tool and ring to the window for each vehicle. The fabric has been carefully notched by a computer controlled cutter around the radius of the ring to ensure proper adhesion around the entire perimeter to eliminate potential of leaking. The technology is unique and protected by worldwide patents.
About the Material
Manufactured using first quality Haartz Stayfast canvas. The topping material is an acoustically enhanced three-ply composite made of acrylic square weave outer fabric, a rubber inner layer, and a cloth lining.
We offer both designs either with or without a rain rail. A rain rail is a U-shaped, molded ABS plastic piece that attaches to the rear bottom of the convertible top. It directs any water collected, out drain holes to keep it from entering your interior cabin and trunk.
Unless your top is leaking, you may not a new rain rail, however, there are good reasons you should consider getting one anyway.
There is a significant amount of time and labor involved to drill out the old rain rail and reinstall it on a new top properly – without any wrinkles. If you are doing it yourself, and are sure your existing rain rail is in good shape then you can save some money by purchasing a new top without the rain rail, but if your rain rail is brittle or cracked it will leak and cause problems. We offer the option to add a factory installed rain rail. We’ll professionally install the rain rail to the convertible top before shipping. This only adds one day to the delivery at most, but may be done the same day.

Pour ce qui est du toit de remplacement, ca tres bien fait, pas de difficulté a faire le travail, fit parfaitement, sauf pas le rain rail.
Pour ce qui est de ma commande, une oublie majeur, on a oublier de préinstaller le rain rail comme commander et il n’etait pas dans la livraison. Obliger de réclamer le cout payé a l’achat de la commande. Pas eu de probleme avec la demande de remboursement.
Top seems very good quality at reasonable price, though I bought it because it was the only tan (“neutral” in selection – the one listed as tan seems more a light brown) canvas top I could find. Installed with no more than the expected problems, mostly caused by my hands &c being too large.
Only real complaint is the instructions. They’re not all that clear, especially as the photos are of a black top, and so pretty hard to make out. I finally got the PDF instructions from the Robbins site. Between the two they’re a usable guide.
I went with the stayfast canvas one piece with the rain rail attached and it looks great. I installed it myself and it went on easier than I thought it would. Installers around here wanted $600-$1300 installation fee plus they they had to buy the top which was another $300 markup. So I saved at least $900 by doing it myself, and the quality is great. It took a full day. The only thing the one piece top didn’t have compared to the factory top was a headliner. It still had a velcro wrap that covered the same bar as the factory top, but it didn’t have that second piece of fabric at the headliner. The other thing was the front corners of the to don’t have pockets to slide into, but a wrap from each side. But after it was installed, it all looked and fit great. Having the rain rail installed saved a bunch of installation time. The cable slots even had string loops in them to make cable installation easy, and the kit came with the necessary rivets. Very happy.
I live in Australia and I think I got this a week later which was beyond surprising. It looks amazing and it just completely changed the look of my car for the best. 100% recommend!!
Great quality and looks amazing I love everything about it but, I would have liked to see some instructions.
