I have a Parrish H/T for my '79. It seals very well; in fact, I attribute
the soundness of my car's body to the hardtop's protection of the interior.
It has a felt headliner and a hard plastic (plexiglass?) rear window.
The top was bought by the original owner in 1979 for $279 and a few dollars
more to paint it the color of the car.
Kevin Eddins is the guy to ask, though. Kevin, did you ever pursue
purchasing this top?
P.S. I tried calling these folks and left a message on their machine, but
never got an answer back. Now that I'm reminded I intend to try again.
Kevin's message is copied below.
P.S. I have a pic of the top on my car (before I restored it), if anyone
wants to see it I can send a JPG.

Someone had asked a while back about Parish Plastics, which made
hardtops a while ago. I have a friend with a '76 MG with such a top and
it looks great.
I found an advertisement it Hemmings for new hardtops. They cover the
TR spectrum (250, 3 - 8). When I called, they said they bought out Parish
and are using his design.
They come with all the hardware, felt head liner, primed and ready to
paint.
They guy told me that they are having a sale for $599 for a '79 Spit.
What do you guys think of this price? I've been looking for a hardtop for
quite some time now and this is the closest I've come.
Please let me know your thoughts,
Kevin
