Yes, but..........the new tops (and maybe even the originals?) have a
pocket with snaps that run side to side in which to hold the sticks in a
fixed spot under the hood. This would also restrict the area available
for the webbing-leaving a little space on either side between the end of
the pocket and outer edges of the top. Does anyone have a top on their
TR6 without the frame webbing, and does it affect the performance of the
top?? IE: does the top flap around at high speeds (relatively speaking,
of course)??
Thanks,

Subject: TR6 Soft top & webbing?
Message text written by Bob Greene
>Hey LisTeRes:
Another club member & I were discussing the reason for the webbing
on a TR6 soft top. Is the webbing for.....
A: To position the top frame rails to help fit the soft top?
B: To buffer the wind on the soft top
C: Both?
D: Neither?
What do you think?

I'd say "A." Without it the hood sticks (frame ) would fall fore or aft
and not stay in the optimum position. If "B" were the reason, why would
it
cover such a small portion?
