Sonnenland or Pininfarina?:

Sonnenland – German premium convertible fabric
Sonnenland is a brand material manufactured in Germany by the company Haartz, often used by car manufacturers such as Porsche, Mercedes or BMW as original equipment

• Material and Structure:
  Three-layer fabric with:
  Top layer of lightfast polyacrylic
  Middle layer of butyl rubber for waterproofing
  Bottom layer of cotton or polyester
  
• Properties:
  Excellent light and weather resistance, long durability and dimensional stability make Sonnenland the market leader in convertible top fabrics.

Pininfarina – Traditional Italian convertible fabric
Pininfarina is known as an Italian design studio. Here the name stands for a traditional fabric used for classic models


• Material and Structure:
  Cotton fabric top with latex rubber intermediate layer
  
• Properties:
  Dimensional stability, flexibility, and authenticity make Pininfarina the first choice for Italian classics, despite its lower light resistance.

Conclusion:
Sonnenland offers technically superior quality, durability, and perfect fit – ideal for sustainable restoration.
Pininfarina fabric mainly has stylistic, authentic value for certain classic vehicles, but is somewhat weaker in terms of durability and light resistance. On the other hand, due to its more flexible fabric, installation is considerably easier, especially for classics.

Attention!
Our convertible tops are manufactured exactly for original frames and must be installed exclusively by a professional upholsterer. We do not assume liability for damages caused by improper installation or by deviating dimensions of retrofitted or modified frames. Already glued tops are excluded from return.

Note:
On some vehicles, the soft top cover fits too tightly and, despite the large adjustment range of the frame, is not sufficient. This usually affects Spiders that have been welded in the area of the A-pillars/sills.
If the vehicle was lifted without removing the engine, the body often warped slightly into a “banana shape” and was fixed in this form by welding. Even a few millimeters at the lower area can easily add up to 2.5 – 3 cm or more at the windshield – a dimension that cannot be compensated for by the fabric.
