2016 Smart ForTwo Features Haartz Topping

October 8, 2015 By Nadeem

Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - 2016 Smart ForTwo Cabriolet

Haartz Corporation, the leading industry provider of soft top convertible material, recently announced that it will be providing topping for the 2016 Smart ForTwo Cabriolet.

The tiny two-seater’s “triptop” will be available in three different Haartz fabrics and colors — including black, grenadine red and even denim blue. Haartz explains:

Using a cut and sew process, the Landmark II is a fabric laminate material comprised of an acrylic square weave facing and is available in the color black.

For those searching for a pop of color, the convertible soft top comes in grenadine red and uses the Haartz exclusive Sonnenland A5.3M material. It is a standard Sonnenland fabric laminate material with a woven solution-dyed acrylic facing and polyester dobby backing.

Available in the color denim blue, the Sonnenland A5.3/HT uses a lightweight neoprene rubber. A limited edition version of this material was also supplied to the last generation Smart ForTwo in a Landmark construction.

The various fabrics and colors are just a small example of the type of customization Haartz is capable of.

“Having three different Haartz soft topping material as features on the Smart ForTwo is something we as a company are delighted about,” explained Matt Williams, director of business development for Haartz. “We work to develop versatile material that caters to our many customers depending on their specific needs and this is a prime example.”
