<div dir="auto">I have a 75 TR6 and a 76 Spitfire, bot with original top, as far as I can tell. Both cars spent a lot of time in Florida. The TR6 top shrunk so much it's impossible to fasten, while the Spitfire top works as new. The only difference is that the TR6 was stored with the top down for convenience, while the Spitfire was used less and was stored with the top up. <div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Needless to say, I now prefer to park my cars with the top up.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Oct 2, 2022, 16:44 Rochlin Robert <<a href="mailto:rrochlin@comcast.net">rrochlin@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Hi Dave,<div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>I have a ’72 with a Robbins Sunfast cloth top. The top looks great on the car after 10 years and fits very well. My only complaint is that the top requires some work to get up when its not warm out. I’ve spoken to a number of top installers and they have told me that the Robbins pattern for the TR6 is not long enough in the rear sections by the windows and that is the difficulty. Other than that, when the top is up or down with the sunfast tonneau cover on it looks great! If you do a cloth top my recommendation would be to have a really experienced professional installer do the work. Robbins does certify installers.</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Best,</div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>Bob<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Oct 1, 2022, at 11:24 PM, dave northrup <<a href="mailto:dave@ranteer.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">dave@ranteer.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><div><div style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration:none"><div style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Looking for a new Robbins top for my 72.
