Hi Doug,
        If it=E2=80=99s a Robbins top be really sure the top still fits =
before going to all the trouble to install it. I put a Robbins Sunfast =
top on my TR6 years ago, and although, it looks great when up or down, =
it is a lot of work to puit up under cool conditions.  About a year ago =
I spoke to a well respected installer who told me that the rear window =
section of the  Robbins tops are short and thus Robbins tops are always =
a  tight fit. I found that my previous vinyl top  was difficult to get =
up unless is was either very warm - it was also a Robbins top. In spite =
of what Robbins said when I contacted them, their tops don=E2=80=99t =
stretch after they have been installed and left in the sun=E2=80=A6
        I=E2=80=99d be curious to know if anyone has had better luck =
with their top installations.
        Best,
        Bob
