[6pack] Fw: Damaged top

[im sloane]

Hi guys,

Don't let this hi-jack the original question, but regarding Larry's comment below: Thirty years ago I put a new top on mine and although it's still on the car, it has the same issues in the original poster's question, separating on both rear corners. Ten years ago I put a new top on my brother's 73 TR6. Ever noticed that TR6s only have 3 snaps on each side, but Spitfire's have 4 snaps each? We made a very simple modification and put 4 snaps on his. Top always folds in between the corner and rear window and the windows still look brand new. The top boot goes on much easier too with the top nicely folded flat on thy vinyl not the plastic.

I mentioned replacing the window, but wanted to mention something else.
I've had by 250 since new. I am almost certain the original window
folded on the vinyl part that separates the two small windows from the
rear window.  My new replacement top folds on the clear window portion.
I think it would last longer with the original design. Has anyone else
noted this difference? - Larry
