Material advantage of stainless steel AISI 316 (A4)

AISI 316 stainless steel (also known as A4 or V4A) contains molybdenum, offering significantly higher corrosion resistance than standard stainless steel. The nylon mount further protects the convertible top frame. This makes the one-hand removable convertible top fitting particularly suitable for:

• Continuous saltwater contact
• Aggressive marine environments
• Long-term outdoor applications without maintenance
• Professional boat and yacht equipment
• Areas with frequent movement and stress

Removable with one hand - Revolutionary spring locking mechanism

Fastest operation: Thanks to the innovative spring locking mechanism, the fitting can be removed from the base with just one hand. Simply pull – done. No buttons, levers or pins required.

Automatic locking: When inserted, the fitting automatically clicks into the base. The spring-loaded locking mechanism ensures secure locking without any additional steps.

Time-saving: Ideal for convertible tops that need to be frequently installed and removed - the fastest solution on the market.

Comfortable: Especially practical when the other hand is already occupied or in difficult weather conditions.

Nylon mount - Gentle on the convertible top frame

Scratch-free: The nylon mount prevents scratches and damage to the convertible top frame that can occur with pure stainless steel fittings.

Low noise: Nylon reduces noise when the convertible top moves.

UV-resistant: The nylon is UV-stabilized and retains its properties even under prolonged exposure to sunlight.
