I had a cloth type top on my tr6, and I was'nt happy with it at
all. I live in Arizona, and the sun faded this top very quickly (3
years), and I garage the car ! I would'nt buy another. I have been
told that "Haartz Stayfast" (spelling) is the material to use, this
is the same as used by Mercedes, but it is VERY expensive.
Just my $0.02
