     Listers,
     
     My $0.02:
     
     In June I installed a Prestige Autotrim beige mohair top on my '72 
     TR6.  I also replaced the entire interior, seat covers and carpets 
     (went from black to beige, all Prestige).  I'd agree that it does 
     take a bit more time to install the top, but it was absolutely 
     worth it, and it does fit.  
     
     My one complaint is that the vinyl windows are much thinner than 
     the old vinyl top(Robbins) I had.  And, they get this sticky film 
     on them EVERY 2 weeks or so.  Have to wipe them off (inside and 
     out) with a windex like product and they do come clean, but two 
     weeks later - you can hardly see through them.  Airborne industrial 
     waste? Smog? Salt from the Atlantic Ocean?  I don't know.
     
     At car shows, I usually leave the top up because it complements the 
     new 'sort-of Delft' blue paint job.
