My Story

California PopTop (Valencia, CA, USA), has been making interior covers for automobiles and trucks since 2004. Our products received an award for design and innovation by one of the world’s largest auto accessories trade organizations (SEMA). And, our Corvette covers have been touted by users saying… ”This is the best Corvette cover available.”

In 2008 we started to focus on the aircraft industry when one of the pilots at a Los Angeles helicopter company purchased a California PopTop for his Smart Car. The owner of the company asked the pilot, “does that cover really work?” The pilot told the owner, “it’s 110 degrees right now, stick your head inside my car.” The owner was so impressed with how well it eliminated heat build-up within the car’s interior, that he hired us to design a cover for their fleet of Astar helicopters.

Soon after completing the design, we started getting calls from other helicopter organizations within the Los Angeles area saying, “I understand you have a great cover for the Astar. Would you like to give us a demo?” Yes, of course I’d like to give them a demo and I did. I now have the majority of the Los Angeles helicopter organizations and several in Las Vegas as customers.
