[TR] TR6 Hardtop Installation

[Joe Burlein]

Yes there was. I have one on my car right now. (Picked up a mildly used 
one cheap a few years ago. Just cost me gas to drive to Georgia!) You 
still have to remove the soft top rear fastener however. What the soft 
top/hard top boot cover does is hold up the soft top so it doesn't 
"rest" on the wheel arches. It fastens to the normal soft top boot cover 
points and then to the snaps that should be in place on the hardtop 
itself. If anyone needs pix of it, let me know.
