I recently- this summer- fitted a new Robbins top, and it looks and works
fine. There are excellent instructions at the VTR website, and I followed
them slavishly. You don't need to sew, but you will need a snap tool
installer tool and a snap rivet tool. It helps a great deal to do the job
under a warm sun so that the material is soft and stretchy.
Cheers, John CF9071
