SONNEDECKE
Haartz Sonnedecke is an American fabric copy of the German cloth. This is a premier material also known as “twillfast.” It is an American made canvas with true double texture. It has the “dobby” weave that you see in Mercedes and other German cars. Porsche, Mercedes and BMW owners will spend a little more to see that “dobby” weave. The underside color can be beige or black. Sonnedecke will wear a little longer than Stayfast. Sonnedecke is becoming the preferred material by many European convertible top manufacturers. Sonnedecke is an upgrade from Cabriolet, Pinpoint, or Stayfast.
