Pontiac Brougham Convertible Tops and Convertible Top Parts
Choosing a Brougham Convertible Top Fabric:
We offer the Pontiac Brougham convertible top in Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl and Haartz Stayfast Canvas. Here's what you need to know about each before making a purchase.Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl: Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl is a two-ply
composite with a PVC outer layer and a cotton inner lining. Haartz
Pinpoint Vinyl is a popular convertible top fabric. The original
Pontiac Brougham convertible top was made of Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl.
In fact, this fabric is original to most American cars made before
1993. Pinpoint refers to the little dots on the vinyl surface. If
you take care of a Haartz Pinpoint Vinyl convertible top, it can
easily last 10 years.
Haartz Stayfast Canvas: If you're looking to upgrade your
vinyl top, consider a convertible top made of Haartz Stayfast
Canvas. This fabric is the American substitute for the German
canvases used in Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, as well as some Mustang
and Lebaron models. Haartz Stayfast Canvas is a three-ply composite
material made of an acrylic square weave outer fabric, a butyl
rubber core, and a cotton lining. The butyl rubber core promises to
make Haartz Stayfast Canvas last a very long time. This canvas is a
little richer looking than the vinyl. It's also a little harder to
clean. Stayfast Canvas has both better static and dynamic wear
ratings than vinyl tops.

Yes! "Scissor tops" have enjoyed good do-it-yourself results among our customers. However, the process of installing a scissor top, because of the top frame's design, requires more work than the typical "two part top" (which the scissor top is.) This extra work often involves the trial positioning and repositioning of the top especially at its rear. We therefore urge the do-it-yourselfer to get the scissor top installation manual which is a profusely illustrated how-to booklet on this particular top's replacement.For your convenience, we sell the two parts to this top together and separately.
