Before I start on my interior, I need to get hold of some material so I can cut and sew side panels (I have a hardtop) and a "snap on" cover to keep out the sun and rain when it's not in use... I'm looking for fabric only so I can fabricate something that's gonna work....I found some "sunbrella" material on ebay that was 13'X23' for $79 but the feedback indicated that the seller is hit or miss when they fill orders, and it was vinyl....what I'd really like to find at a reasonable cost is material like I have on my RV awning...it feels like cloth and has been waterproof and hasn't faded in the four years I've had the awning out...if I could get enough, I could possibly even use it for the bench seats....any ideas??? Cost is an important consideration.

Thanks, but all I could find there were standard widths.

Sunbrella comes in 46" as well as 60" widths.
I've bought several times from these folks when I did my homemade skirt and needed material and all kinds of snaps, etc.

I was hoping to find something a little wider....like my RV awning cover, which is 8' wide and 23' long....I guess maybe I'll order a couple of replacement awning covers and cut em up...
