History of Robbins Auto Top

Three generations of the Robbins family have owned and operated Robbins Auto Top LLC since its founding in 1943. In April 2001 our company moved into a new 53,000 sq. foot one story building in Oxnard, CA. Our employment fluctuates between 70 and 80 people due to the seasonal nature of our business.

We began as an automotive trim and upholstery shop. In the 1950’s Robbins began shipping tonneau covers for MG, Triumph, Jaguar, Porsche and other convertibles, to mail order customers throughout the U.S.A. Airline pilots would come to our shop to purchase tonneau covers and tops to take home with them to sell to friends in Britain, Germany, Australia and other countries.

In the late 1960’s Robbins began manufacturing tops and tonneau covers for European convertibles. To build sales we opened distributors in the western U.S.A. to resell our convertible tops and tonneau covers to auto trim and upholstery shops.

In the 1970’s Robbins began to expand its network of distributors to most major cities throughout the U.S.A., and began exporting to other countries. In 1971 Robbins joined the A.I.S.A. organization, which merged with other organizations to become the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association that we belong to today. We currently have approximately 60 distributors in the U.S.A., and an additional 35 distributors in Canada, Australia, Japan and Western Europe.

Robbins Product Innovations

When we began manufacturing convertible tops and tonneau covers we concentrated on making products for European models, since it was difficult to obtain high quality convertible tops in the U.S.A. for these convertibles. In 1985 we began to manufacture convertible tops, glass and plastic rear windows and other products for American built convertibles.

As we continued to develop as an organization we started working with customers outside our traditional aftermarket base. In 1990 we began shipping tonneau covers for Miata convertibles to Mazda. Our tonneau covers were used as OE equipment on Special Edition Miatas, and were offered as accessory items by Mazda dealers.

In 1992 we approached Ford to submit a bid to supply tops for Capri convertibles for warranty and service parts requirements of Ford dealers in the U.S.A. and Canada. As a result we were required to pass the stringent Ford Q1 quality standards, and we passed our Q1 quality audit in 1994.

Our company is a leader in quality and innovation in the aftermarket. Robbins has been granted three U.S. Patents, and have other Patent applications pending in the U.S.A. and other countries.

In our Catalog we list more than 500 different convertible tops, tonneau covers, glass and plastic windows and other products we manufacture for American, European and Japanese convertibles.

Everything we have achieved is due to the support of our customers, and we look forward to serving our customers for many years to come.

Our goal is customer satisfaction through the use of our quality system to assure production of high quality products, and by continuously improving our manufacturing processes, the skills of our people and the level of service we offer.
