<DIV>I live in southern CA, my top, as friends will attest, is almost always
down. Only up if it really rains - not just a heavy mist or light
sprinkle. I have tried on occasion to put it up on a regular basis at
home, it should be, but have never really done that.</DIV>

<DIV dir="ltr">Peter, Its interesting that you don't have the same width
shrinkage problem that I have with my tops which spend about 2 days raised
each year and remain folded all winter. 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?<BR><BR><I
have had two sunfast tops on my TR6, one for about 10 years, the current one
for about five.I have never had a real <shrinkage problem either side to
side or front to back. Over the years it will get slightly harder to
stretch up, but not <enough to really speak of. These are Robbins'
sunfast tops. would not go back to vinyl.<BR><Peter Arakelian - '71
TR6, Daily Driver </DIV>
<DIV dir="ltr"><<The main complaint I have with both the original top
and the Sunfast is that the tops attach to the velcro on the folding
<<side rails for only about 2 years before the width of the top
"shrinks" and becomes too narrow to even reach those side <<rails.
