Hi guys,
Don't let this hi-jack the original question, but regarding Larry's comment=
below: Thirty years ago I put a new top on mine and although it's still on=
the car, it has the same issues in the original poster's question, separat=
ing on both rear corners. Ten years ago I put a new top on my brother's 73 =
TR6. Ever noticed that TR6s only have 3 snaps on each side, but Spitfire's =
have 4 snaps each? We made a very simple modification and put 4 snaps on hi=
s. Top always folds in between the corner and rear window and the windows s=
till look brand new. The top boot goes on much easier too with the top nice=
ly folded flat on thy vinyl not the plastic.

Subject: Re: [6pack] Damaged top
I mentioned replacing the window, but wanted to mention something else.
I've had by 250 since new. I am almost certain the original window
folded on the vinyl part that separates the two small windows from the
rear window. My new replacement top folds on the clear window portion.
I think it would last longer with the original design. Has anyone else
noted this difference? - Larry
