  View original topic: Looking for Source for Cabriolet Vinyl Material

I'm in need of a source for the pebble-grain vinyl material in medium-dark grey color that Rabbit/Golf cabriolet tops were made from. Image attached here shows pages from a 'Crown Auto Top' upholstery shop sample book in the upper part of the image with the yellow pen pointing to the vinyl that I need. It is stock #589.

The lower half of the image is from a 'Robbins Auto Top' supplier and the grey on the left (#RC DGG) or on the right (#VW DGG) are the ones that I'm needing. These samples are from my wife's upholstery shop in the 1990's. We need material to fabricate a replacement cover for our 1963 Type 117 sunroof sedan. Thanks for any info on a source for this material.


Any leads on finding this material will be greatly appreciated.

Wow... it looks like USA suppliers have majorly trimmed down their offerings. Gray used to be quite common, now it's nonexistent. :o

Your best bet is probably contacting https://www.cabriozentrum.com/en . They're former Karmann folks who struck out on their own. They have gray listed as an option, but you have to contact them about it.
