I hire someone with skills! Two materials were used with the best quality a "german" canvas There are several online sales points. I have used both materials and the work came out the same in function. Also had replaced the back panel that has the 3 plastic windows only. The third new top cost less for labor. The tops on 600 and 500 were identical but my generation is early in the 90's, not sure about late R 129's. In Kansas it was a 2,5-3,1K expense, all in.
