Todd -
Years ago I looked for one of those "hard top boots" but
never found one (note that there are snaps inside my hardtop
to facilitate mounting one of these phantom boots). And yes,
the convertible top can be left in the car but a) it takes up space,
and b) it bolts into the same holes in the B pillar as some of the
mounting hardware. I just always took the soft top off the few
times I mounted the hard top.

RE: [TR] TR6 Hardtop Installation
Dennis,
Correct me if I'm wrong...and I might be as I've never installed a hard
top.
Wasn't there a "special" hood(soft top) cover for hard top models...this
would be to cover the convertible top when it was folded down WITH the hard
top installed. I would think you would NOT have to remove the convertible
top if this was the case?
Cheers,
Todd
