This might have been covered in the article (I don't have one, so if I am
repeating something forgive me) but I found a piece of the chalk that
seamstresses use to mark cloth really comes in handy. You can use that to
mark the center of the top in relation to the windshield header. After a
mark has been made, it can very easily be removed with a little warm water.
I also used 3M adhesives, since that is what I have read the 'pros' use.
When applying the adhesive to the windshield header piece, I made sure I had
a nice application of contact cement and then used a small disposable brush
to ensure an even distribution. This prevented a mess from happening and
also makes an even application which can be hard to do with the spray can.
The trick is to take your time. Measure several times and this should
ensure a good fit.

Subject: [6pack] TR6 Top Replacement
I will be replacing the top on my 76 this weekend, and was wondering if
anyone
has any writeups on this. I saw the write up on the VTR website, but
without
pictures it is pretty difficult to follow. I know there used to be one on
the
sterlingbritishmotoring website, but it is no longer there.
Thanks,
Cary
