I’ve used both vinyl and canvas and liked them both. Vinyl is correct, if that’s what you’re looking for. I put a white canvas cover on my mouse grey 21 and it looks great. I was concerned about keeping it clean, but it has not been a problem. You can get covers from several sources, all available here on The Samba. I got my canvas cover from :

They have every piece of the mechanism too.
Not sure what sunroof stuff they have, but on your side of the Atlantic:

OK. I looked at the "Color Code" charts. Has anyone seen a V96 color aka Turquoise? Replacement? To restore, I would need this color according to the chart. 64 Turkis under white deluxe 21

631 blue-white V106 is the original color in vinyl .
I recently got a correct color vinyl sunroof for a 58' bug from lenny copp at west coast classics .
I had a 66 velvet green 21 that came with a canvas sunroof in beige which looked really good in my opinion. |
