Try a google search on Stay Fast Convertable Tops. I got a black one made by them with a folding plexi glass window.

Electron, Robbins, Kee. Any of those will build what you are looking for. I'd go electron. I do a good bit of tops and I've never had an issue with them. GAHH builds the best top but they concentrate on european tops.

I think a canvas top looks bada$$ on the old cars, especially over vinyl.

Electron tops are our favorite, Sure you want white? Hard to keep clean

FWIW, I was very unhappy with the quality of the Kee top I got. I was also very unhappy with the service when I called Kee.

It's gonna be hard to find a good quality canvas top in white....you'll need to run a top similar to a new Mustang- it will have a slightly rubberized texture/look. Manufacturers seem to lack a bit when it comes to white canvas.....

It's getting to be the only colors that will be made are the ones the OEM want, My old charts have twice the colors that my new one has.

Canvas is well worth the search... :thumbsup:

My advice is you should seriously rethink the reason WHY you can't find white top material.... it's because NOBODY wants it?

Just sayin' -- sometimes just because you can - doesn't mean you should.

The three major "canvass" (it ain't) manufacturers DO NOT make white.

It's most likely the same reason why we never had WHITE cushions when I was the rep for Brown Jordan. Everybody knew what it would look like 6 weeks after they bought it.

If you look at my project, you'll see I have pearl white interior upholstery but a black convertible top. There's a reason for that.

If the top is mainly down anyway, the white will get permanent stains at the fold lines that you'll never be able to prevent.

Even with my pearl white boot, it's impossible to keep it really clean.

If the top is usually down (as convertible tops should be....) then you never see the color anyway.
