Title: Soft top supplier question
Post by: Brenco on March 02, 2018, 16:37:57

A question about soft top supplier...
While I am aware of the the suppliers list in technical section I noticed recently that a US supplier called Topsonline sells a variety of the soft top types that were originally available for the pagoda including the sonnenland type. My question is has anyone bought from this supplier and is aware of the quality, customer experience with them. I am particularly interested in the sonnenland type.

Here's a link

I have no connection with them, just in the market  for a soft top at some point.
Thanks

Breandan

Breandan. If you see their disclaimer they offer "Robbins" brand tops as well as their own in house "TopsOnline" brand.
I have not ordered through this company, however, when I ordered my Sonnenland top from a different supplier (GAT) I was sent a Robbins top. I am happy whith the quality of the top.
Be sure to count how many Bows you have in your soft top frame. It will either be 3 or 4. They will need to know this or you could end up with the wrong top.

Thanks Tyler. I have a 69 280 sl so its the 4 bow soft top I need. After your post I looked up the Robbins brand and see that Robbins supply soft tops (or maybe its the material?) to many other resellers including Topsonline. Its definitely worth considering Robbins and good to see you are happy with it. I'm still interested  to see if anyone has a view on the quality of their own Topsonline brand which they sell alongside the Robbins brand but thanks for your reply.
