Peter, Its interesting that you don't have the same width shrinkage =
problem that I have with my tops which spend about 2 days raised each =
year and remain folded all winter. The length on my tops has stretched, =
so they are easier to attach at the header rail than when new. I think =
stretching the length causes the width to shrink (Poisson's Ratio) as in =
an elastic band. Do you mostly keep your top raised?
<I have had two sunfast tops on my TR6, one for about 10 years, the =
current one for about five.I have never had a real <shrinkage problem =
either side to side or front to back. Over the years it will get =

These are Robbins' sunfast tops. would not go back to vinyl.
