[TR] [6pack] TR6 OEM hardtop value

Tue Oct 20 20:03:49 MDT 2020

I have an aftermarket hardtop on my TR6 and like it.  It keeps the sun 
off me (I'm light sensitive) and makes it much quieter on road trips 
without the wind noise.  I can drive the interstate at 80mph for several 
tanks of gas without sore hair or tired ears.  It is also nice to be 
able to securely lock the car.
