[TR] TR4 Top w/Zippered Rear Window

[oliver]

I, too purchased a top from a different vendor (not lbarco), trying to save 
a few bucks.  of course, once you install a top, and realize what a lousy 
top it is, you can't return it.

I totally recommend going with robbins.  don't don't don't try to save a few 
bucks - you will totally regret it.
