Default Windjammer/duster fabric options

I'm looking to fab up my own windjammer and cargo area cover for an 07 2 door. I can't find the actual black diamond material anywhere, even trying to contact Haartz direct.

Has anyone dealt with Sunbrella fabric for their Jeep or even boat? It's made for marine apps, but they have their sea mark line that's waterproof (with Haartz technology). I'm just looking for input on a good material to work with.

I would go with a Bestop setup, but I'm a bit worried since I need the seats pushed all the way back and reclined a fair bit. Maybe someone who runs this can chime in with whether or not the seats mess up the duster and/or windjammer?

I bought some material at a tent and awning place in town that is made for boat covers and stuff. I am 99% sure it is sunbrella. I am making something that needed soft top like material. The acrylic window came from the same place. It is nothing like the black diamond material that my safari top is made of. The sunbrella stuff is almost like a tightly woven canvas. It is real soft but heavy. I guess it is waterproof, but it doesn't look like it. Ill post some pics of my project in a couple weeks that is made with it.

Thanks for the reply. Just ordered the materials to build my self a tonneau, windjammer, and soft doors for less than a duster/windjammer from bestop. Hope I didn't just get in over my head
