We are pleased to announce the release of our 2066 top with Heatsealed Heater/Defroster Glass Window to fit 2001-On VW Cabrio/Golf IV convertibles.

Our 2066 top is made following the original design with no deck seams and no binding.

Our 2066 top is made with metal brackets mounted to the glass, which attach to window "frame hinge" arms that guide the glass when the top is raised and lowered.

We have improved the design of our metal brackets by making the base 50% wider than the brackets used by VW in OE Tops, to provide a stronger bond of the bracket to the glass. VW has experienced numerous warranty claims as a result of the failures in the bond of the bracket to the glass. When the adhesive bond fails this causes the brackets to separate from the glass, and as a result the glass does not fold down properly when the top is lowered, causing the glass to break.

Warranty claims have been so severe that VW has been forced to replace the entire top, headliner, pad and top frame assembly on many models. In some instances VW has even used the 1995-2000 style top and top frame assembly in which the glass is held in place by a large rubber weatherseal.

We offer our 2066 top made in original style TY Twill Grain Vinyl as well as original A5 German Cloth, SG Sun-Fast "G" Cloth, TW Twillfast Cloth and our SF Sun-Fast Cloth.
1997-On Jaguar XK8, XKR

We are pleased to introduce our 2423C top to fit 1997-On Jaguar XK8 and XKR convertibles.

Our 2423C top is made to offer the same fit and appearance as OE Jaguar XK8 and XKR tops. Our 2423C tops are made with original style matching cloth binding, rainguards above the binding, topstitched deck seams and an original style extrusion at the rear which fits into a channel below the belt molding.

Our 2423C top is designed to fit with the original heater defroster glass supplied by the factory. Trim shops however, will have to arrange for a glass company to remove the glass from the factory top and reinstall this in our 2423C top due to Jaguar’s use of a heavy mastic that dries hard to seal the glass in place.

Jaguar has used a variety of toppings and colors for OE XK8 and XKR tops since the introduction of this convertible in 1997, including Haartz Twillfast Cloth and most recently R & S (Haartz) A5 German Cloth. We will be stocking these tops in the most popular black and tan shades of the original toppings, but will offer these tops in blue and other colors as well on a special order basis. We can also make 2423C tops in our Sun-Fast "G" Cloth with Twill weave.

We offer a 3-Year pro-rated Warranty for our 2423C tops made in Cloth toppings.
1990-97 MX5 Miata with No Zipper Glass Window Top

We are please to offer our 2920/2921 Tops with No Zipper Glass Window. These tops enable Miata owners to raise and lower their tops with glass rear window without having to unzip a zipper.

This is the same manner in which owners of 1999-On Miatas raise and lower their tops, and is faster and much more convenient than having to get out of the car to unzip the zipper before lowering the top, and save money too!

• 2920/2921 Tops less expensive (roughly 9%) than our 2912/2913 Tops with Zipper Glass Window.

• Available with or without Rain Rail

• Available in Cloth and PVC Vinyl Toppings.
Note: Installation of 2920/2921 Tops requires installing new bow straps. New straps and hardware, along with detailed installation instructions, are included in the box.
