We have thousands of convertible tops in stock and ready to ship, however occasionally we need to custom manufacture one to order. Fortunately, the factory always has plenty of raw material (canvas, glass, threads, etc.) and can make your convertible top in 3 business days. The only time this does not apply is between Christmas and New Years when most of the factory is on holiday. We understand that it can be frustrating to wait 2-3 weeks (or sometimes longer) to get your order filled, which is why we believe that our same day shipping policies provide you with the service you should expect and deserve from any online retailer.

CARE OF YOUR CONVERTIBLE TOP Always Leave a new top and glass or plastic window in the up position for a minimum of 24 hours for tops made in PVC Vinyl toppings, and one week for tops made in cloth toppings, after our products were installed. As convertible top frames age, links and joints wear and top frames do not have the same alignment as when convertibles were new. Leaving convertible tops and glass windows in the up position after installation allows them time to relax and adjust, or become ""seasoned"" to the top frame. Always Follow the instructions in your Owners Manual for lowering and raising your Top. Always keep the top well area free of objects, especially if a Glass Window is installed with your Top. Even harmless looking objects such as beach towels can cause glass windows to break. Objects in your top well can further cause unnecessary wear and stress on top frames, plus cause damage to your top and to plastic windows as well. Always Unlatch Top at front before unzipping, or zipping window closed before latching for any convertible Top, Glass or Plastic Window, unless different instructions appear in your owners manual. Always Try and keep your Top, Tonneau Cover, Glass or Plastic Window, etc., clean. Do not Raise or lower convertible tops, glass or plastic window assemblies when the temperature is below 40 degrees (5 degrees Centigrade) since this can cause damage to the topping, plastic windows and other components. Do not Lower your convertible top, glass or plastic window when the top is wet, to avoid discoloration or other damage to the topping or inside backing. Do not Store away wet top boots or tonneau covers, to avoid discoloration and shrinking that can cause these products to no longer fit. CLEANING OF OUR PRODUCTS Glass Windows: Glass Windows should be cleaned with water based glass cleaners only. Please be extremely careful when cleaning Heater/Defroster glass windows not to scratch the defroster lines or to break the power source connector wire. Cleaner should never be allowed to drip into seams or heat seals. Plastic Windows: Plastic windows in convertible Tops should be cleaned frequently. Be sure to hose or blow off loose dirt particles from surface first, and then use either plain water or mild soap and water solution. Apply with a soft cloth or tissue to gently clean window. Always clean in a side to side or a top to bottom motion, NEVER in a circular motion, (cleaning in a circular motion can damage plastic windows). There are also several good plastic cleaners available such as ""Meguiars Mirror Glaze Formula 17"". Never use harsh brushes or abrasives when cleaning plastic windows. Use of Vinyl Preservatives We do NOT recommend use of penetrating vinyl preservatives, conditioners or dressings on Tops, Tonneau Covers, and other products. Cleaning Tops, Tonneau Covers and Other Products Made in Cloth or Vinyl Toppings We strongly recommend hand washing convertible tops and other products. Tops and other products made in Vinyl toppings can be cleaned using Vinyl Cleaners such as Malco which are widely available. While Car Washes generally will not harm convertible Tops made in Cloth or Vinyl Toppings, never allow a car wash to apply spray wax to your convertible Top. To hand wash our products, use Ivory or other mild soap flakes in a bucket of lukewarm water. In hard water areas add Calgon (not to be confused with dishwasher detergent) or other water softener until the water feels slippery. ALWAYS Wash Tops, Tonneau Covers, etc. in the shade, never in direct sun. ALWAYS Wash entire Top, Tonneau Cover, etc. Never spot clean to avoid rings or bright spots. ALWAYS Wet entire car before washing Top. Use sponge or soft bristle brush to apply suds. Do not use a chamois or cloth since these will leave lint on Cloth Tops. ALWAYS Rinse well with hose making sure to remove all traces of soap. Wipe off excess water with sponge. Please be careful to hose down entire car to prevent soap from streaking paint. ALWAYS Install Tonneau Covers and Top Boots after cleaning while still damp to preserve fit and shape. ALWAYS Try to move Tops into direct sun after cleaning and thorough rinsing to dry. Chamois all excess water off body of car. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DO NOT Use detergents, bleaches, harsh cleansers, cleaners or abrasives. DO NOT Use dry-cleaning solvents, etc. DO NOT Use hot water. DO NOT Lower down or cover convertible tops when wet or damp. This can lead to mildew growth and in extreme cases can cause discoloration or rotting of toppings can occur. TIPS FOR CONVERTIBLE OWNERS Installation of our Products: We strongly recommends that convertible owners always have our convertible tops, glass windows and other products installed at Automotive Upholstery and Trim Shops. Trim Shops have the tools and experience to correctly install our tops and other products on your convertible. Always watch your convertible top (and glass or plastic window) as it is lowered or raised: Watch for any irregular motion, snagging or other problems. If you notice any problems and your convertible is still under new car Warranty, immediately go to your dealer to have your convertible top frame inspected. If your convertible is out of Warranty, immediately take your convertible to your local automotive Trim and Upholstery shop to have your top frame examined. Whenever any problems are observed when tops are lowered or raised, convertible owners need to quickly respond to have potential problems with top frames repaired before convertible tops, glass or plastic windows, or headliners are damaged. As convertibles age: When convertibles are out of warranty, top frame, bow links and other frame components no longer have the alignment they did when your convertible was new. Weatherseals, top frame pads or straps, side and rear cables, rain rails etc., may need to be replaced to avoid water leakage and damage to tops and glass or plastic window assemblies. Not replacing weatherseals can result in wind noise and water leakage when you replace your top. If rust develops on your top frame, have this removed and your top frame repainted to protect your top frame and convertible top. Leave your Top Up when Not Driving: We strongly recommend that you leave convertible tops latched in the up position overnight or whenever you are not driving your convertible. This will help retain the original shape of your top, resist shrinkage, and avoid crease marks where the top folds when in the down position. Leaving your top up when you are not driving will also help to prolong the service life of plastic windows.

For those looking to protect your original upholstery from pets, we most definitely recommend our Duraplus custom seat covers.DuraPlus Seat covers are made from high quality canvas-like material making it nearly impossible to tear and puncuture. Water Repellent, Great UV protection and Ultra soft foam backing for maximum comfort.

This can be viewed in the color swatches on the individual fabric pages.

No problem – new patterns are added regularly. Simply call us at the number listed on our Contact Us page, and one of our customer-service representatives will assist you. You can also e-mail us for a timely response.

You bet! When you purchase a Boxster top with the glass upgrade, the defroster harness will come with your order at no additional cost to you.

Most manufacturers, including ours, use cloth topping materials from The Haartz Corporation. Haartz is the supplier to the OEM on nearly all soft top convertibles. Haartz cloth topping materials are constructed using a ""three-ply"" method that has an acrylic or a polyester and acrylic exterior (known as the facing) and a cloth interior lining (the backing). FACING MATERIAL The face material is woven with either a square or twill weave and the backing is either polyester, polyester/cotton or cotton. These materials are combined using an elastomeric or rubber film that is sandwiched between them. This provides waterproofing and gives the material its stretch. Increasing the thickness of the rubber film will reduce the amount of noise in the vehicle interior. BACKING MATERIAL Backing is generally black, however certain older Mercedes convertible with German Canvas tops have a tan backing. Backing for the Twill facing material has a Dobby (crosshatch) pattern noted in the image to the right. Stayfast is an American material with a plain black cotton or polyester blend backing. CONVERTIBLE TOP CLOTH TYPES Twillfast II Acrylic face and polyester/cotton backing. Backing is black and has a Dobby (crosshatch) pattern. Tan color backing is available with some face colors. Twillfast RPC This is considered an Acoustic topping and reduces noise. Acrylic face and polyester backing. Backing is black and has a Dobby (crosshatch) pattern.

Backing is black with a smooth texture. Tan color backing is available with some face colors. Stayfast is the only one of these materials that has a square weave outer facing instead of a twill weave. A lot of things must come together properly for a convertible top to have a good fit including the accuracy of the original patterns, the consistency of the production methods, the quality and consistency of the fabrics, the experience of the people, the manufacturing equipment, and the production methods. And, the company must be driven to make the best product for the market.

All our covers are made from genuine automotive materials to provide you with all the qualities you expect from an OE fabric (durability and fade resistance etc.); however, they may not be an exact match to your original material.

Yes we make covers for all headrest and certain armrests, they will be included with your seat covers.

German canvas is made of a polyester blend, and the American canvas is made of a cotton blend. That is the biggest difference. As far as quality, BMW tested the American canvas for years for fading and quality, and determined that the American canvas held up to the German canvas the same. They started to use the American canvas in 1994, and continue to do so.

GAHH is committed to using the original equipment manufacturer's materials. We use Haartz Stayfast, Sonnendeck and A5 canvas materials for our canvas tops. Discerning buyers looking to restore their vehicle to its manufacturer specified condition look for Haartz based products like those produced by GAHH. We purchase our leather from the same European tannery that supplies BMW and Mercedes. This tannery matches the original colors exactly. We purchase only first quality raw materials including full grain hides. Full-grain hides are of high quality because the color of the leather fully permeates the hide. This gives the leather a long lasting, quality color.

Yes, TopDown offers both, plastic and glass windows for your convertible tops.

The original (regular) convertible top has a separate rear window section and is considered a two piece convertible top. Whereas, the Budget top does not have a separate window section. It is a one piece top.

Most convertible tops ship the same day if ordered before 2:00 PM PST. If we do not stock the convertible top you need or are out of stock, one can be manufactured and shipped within 3 business days.

The convertible top straps are important in assisting the convertible top to fold correctly. Over time the elasticity wears out and the straps are no longer strong enough to pull the convertible top correctly when being put in the "down" position. This can cause the convertible top to become pinched in the convertible top frame, eventually wearing holes in the convertible top.

Due to the structure of the convertible top frame, it cannot be done.
