We believe that Toyota MR2 cables in most tops are subject to premature breakage. These cables are perfect reproductions of the improved MR2 cables. The cables sewn into our tops have the improved Toyota configuration cables pre-installed. In the last two years of the MR2 manufacture, Toyota made a modification to the hold down cables in order to eliminate a tearing problem experienced by many owners of the earlier MR2 tops. Our tops contain the defroster glass rear window, as original. (It is a well known 'trade secret' that the Haartz Division of Glen Raven Mills purchased the Sonnenland factory.) 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. Some of this is due to the abrasion resistance of the exterior canvas. There is an approximate twenty percent greater wear rating for Sonnenland than for Haartz Stayfast. But the manufacturing specifications make this the longest lasting top. It is hard to tell the surfaces apart among the three. It's general construction is very similar to the other two canvases. German Sonnenland Canvas is the original German made canvas used in many Mercedes, Porsche, BMW and other convertibles. This is due to the slightly heavier inner lining and subtle bonding specification differences. The wear rating of Sonnendeck is also greater than for Haartz, by perhaps 10%. 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. Haartz Stayfast canvas has a plain (unwoven) inner lining. 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. Sonnendeck Canvas (also called 'Twillfast') is an American made canvas, true double texture topping like the Haartz Stayfast. If you do not see a canvas top listed for your car, please inquire and we will provide a quotation for it. The inside of the top is pre-shrunk cotton. Canvas is widely regarded as "richer looking" than vinyl. Haartz Stayfast is the American substitute for the German canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, some models of Mustang and Lebaron and others. It is this core that makes the fabric last a very long time, with both better static and dynamic wear ratings than vinyl toppings. The two are bonded with and separated by a butyl rubber core. Haartz Stayfast Canvas has a canvas outer layer and a preshrunk cotton inner layer. It has a pigskin outer grain vinyl as original to Volkswagen Cabriolets from 1984 onward and to Mazda Miatas and Mercury Capris. HV Denim also known as Twill Weave Grain Vinyl: Heavy duty sport material composed of a distinctive twill grain PVC outer layer and a polyester/cotton blend inside lining fabric.Ĭabrio Grain Vinyl is also structurally equivalent to the pinpoint. The original MR2 Spyder convertible tops were made of Pebble Grain Vinyl and Cabrio vinyl.Īlternate Fabrics:HV Denim (Twill Weave Grain Vinyl), Haartz Stayfast Canvas, Sonnendeck (Twillfast) Canvas and Premium A5 German Sonnenland Canvas. Haartz Stayfast Canvas has a greater wear rating and an elegant outer canvas.
