[TR] Re; TR6 convertible top questions

[Robert Rochlin]

My experience is the same as Peter’s.  No stretch, but no shrinkage either.  I only put my top down when I go cruising in the summer.

The length on my tops has stretched, so they are easier to attach at the header rail than when new. I think stretching the length causes the width to shrink (Poisson's Ratio) as in an elastic band. Do you mostly keep your top raised?
