Important Notes: This is the replacement Vinyl Landau Top only, meaning it does not include any Molding or Clips hardware. You will need to re-use all the Moldings & Clips which are currently on your car, or purchase new Moldings & Clips separately. Fuzzy Backing: These vinyl tops are made with Haartz fuzzy backed vinyl to maximize the adhesion of the top to the roof of your car. Smooth backing vinyl is inferior and is not available.
Some vehicles with Landau Tops were manufactured with a separate layer of closed cell foam, called Insolite, underneath the Landau topping material. This Landau Top does not include Insolite foam. If Insolite foam is desired, it can be purchased from your local auto upholstery shop.
These Landau Tops fit the 4-Door Hardtop Volvo 142 & 144 from the 1968 model year.
Made with two heat-sealed seams which run along each side of the roof (one seam along each side). These seams are stitched, then folded over and heat-sealed, so the stitching is not exposed. This is a match to the factory original styling.
Other colors can be made, please inquire.
These Landau Tops include a 5-year (60-month) warranty from the manufacturer. Please see our Warranty page for more details.

(3) How is the top constructed (materials, seams, backing) and how does that match factory style?
The top is made with Haartz fuzzy-backed Elk Vinyl, which enhances adhesion to the roof. It features two heat-sealed seams (one along each roof side). The seams are stitched, folded over, and then heat-sealed so the stitching is not exposed—matching original factory styling.
Note: Some vehicles originally included a closed-cell foam underlayer (“Insolite”) under the Landau material. This product does not include Insolite foam; if you want it, you must obtain it separately (for example, from an upholstery shop).
