Hi Craig,
I looked at that top and it does appear to be sitting too far rearward. The
photos are cropped in such a way that the leading edge can't quite be seen
clearly. That's the key... if it's not fully mounted on the top of the
windshield,
it would explain why it appears short of the windows on the sides and too far
back toward the gas cap on the rear. There is also a little bit of adjustment
in the windshield frame position.
It's not a bad looking top. I considered it, but was concerned the window
might be difficult to replace. If you know of a source for a replacement, the
price is right! It doesn't say, but I'd assume the top is fiberglass. There is
a
Canadian firm still offering a one-piece top that is very similar, perhaps the
same item, I forget the company name but their website could probably be
found with some Googling.
Hope this helps!

Subject: TR4 Hardtop
There is an aftermarket TR4 hardtop currently listed on ebay (item
number 4551683480). In the auction photos, it looks like it does not
match the window glass door, and it extends too far back at the gas
filler. But maybe it's just not installed correctly--the car it's on is
definitely a project. Anyway, does anyone on the list have experience
with this style hardtop?
