Original Fabric:
The original MR2 Spyder convertible tops were made of Pebble Grain Vinyl. This is original OEM factory material and is imported directly from Japan.
Alternate Fabrics:HV Denim (Twill Weave Grain Vinyl), Cabrio GRain Vinyl, Haartz Stayfast Canvas, Sonnendeck (Twillfast) Canvas and Premium A5 German Sonnenland Canvas.
About The Fabrics: 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.
Cabrio Grain Vinyl is also structurally equivalent to the pinpoint. It has a pigskin outer grain vinyl as original to Volkswagen Cabriolets from 1984 onward and to Mazda Miatas and Mercury Capris.
Haartz Stayfast Canvas has a canvas outer layer and a preshrunk cotton inner layer. The two are bonded with and separated by a butyl rubber core. It is this core that makes the fabric last a very long time, with both better static and dynamic wear ratings than vinyl toppings. Haartz Stayfast is the American substitute for the German canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, some models of Mustang and Lebaron and others. Canvas is widely regarded as "richer looking" than vinyl. It is a little harder to clean. The inside of the top is pre-shrunk cotton. The inner lining is usually black. If you do not see a canvas top listed for your car, please inquire and we will provide a quotation for it.
Sonnendeck Canvas (also called 'Twillfast') is an American made canvas, true double texture topping like the Haartz Stayfast. 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. Haartz Stayfast canvas has a plain (unwoven) inner lining. 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. The wear rating of Sonnendeck is also greater than for Haartz, by perhaps 10%. This is due to the slightly heavier inner lining and subtle bonding specification differences.
German Sonnenland Canvas is the original German made canvas used in many Mercedes, Porsche, BMW and other convertibles. It's general construction is very similar to the other two canvases. It is hard to tell the surfaces apart among the three. But the manufacturing specifications make this the longest lasting top. There is an approximate twenty percent greater wear rating for Sonnenland than for Haartz Stayfast. Some of this is due to the abrasion resistance of the exterior canvas. 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. (It is a well known 'trade secret' that the Haartz Division of Glen Raven Mills purchased the Sonnenland factory.)
Rear Window:
Our tops contain the defroster glass rear window, as original.
Cable Redesign:
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. The cables sewn into our tops have the improved Toyota configuration cables pre-installed.
Do-It-Yourself Installation:
The Toyota MR2 convertible top is made as an integrated unit. It installs with hardware, the car's retaining bars, Velcro and a few rivets or 'bang in' fasteners.
There is no sewing and very simple adhesive work. Roughly speaking, if you can assemble a charcoal grill unit you should be able to install an MR2 top.
