Convertible Top Canvas: Description and Operation

Convertible Top


Top Canvasing Material

The processed top canvasing material is designated as a textile canvasing material. This canvasing material consists of three layers.
Top layer - fully synthetic fiber
Intermediate layer - rubber
Bottom layer - 100 % cotton

The fully synthetic fibers of the top layer guarantee the resistance to atmospheric conditions and easy cleaning and servicing of the top. Rubber of the intermediate layer makes it leakproof. The special texture and combination of layers produce the good quality and maintain the textile appearance of the top layer.
