Jeff, two years ago I bought a new Robbins top (from TRF) for my '64TR4.
Since I was replacing a factory original which was on the car I could
compare the two tops. The Robbins top matched the original exactly (they
even took a special order from me to change the inside color to tan instead
of black). The quality and fit are excellent, although I recommend that you
check with the list before installing and then take it to an auto upholstery
shop for installation (unless you really know what you are doing). To sum up
- I'm completely satisified with Robbins.
Also suggest that you wait for a sale if you don't absolutely need the top
now.
