You betcha. I'm fortunate enough to be able to drive my TR6 every day, all
year long (you can read that as mild winters with no road salt) here in
western Washington. Top down weather has officially ended for the year -
it's monsoon time until probably May, so the hardtop goes on this weekend.
It's a bit fiddly to fit, the window-to-top seal isn't great (as has been
mentioned by others), but it really transforms the car. It feels much more
snug and solid. I'm surprised every spring by how loose and willowy the car
feels when I take the hardtop off - takes a couple of days to get used to it
again. I've been meaning to replace the headliner and paint mine (it's
black, the car is green) for about 8 years now... maybe next spring.
Anyhow, I highly recommend them, if only for variety - it let's you drive
two very different feeling cars for the price of one - and it looks nice
too!
