I have had a sunfast (also called stayfast) top on my '71 TR6 for eight
years - I love it. I drive almost exclusively with the top down, the joys
of California living, and it is a daily driver. I also have a sunfast
tonneau cover. Be careful you are not sold a true canvas top, it will fade
and leak! Sunfast cloth is a composite material that has a waterproof
barrier between non-fading cloth. It does not fade or leak. Advantages?
When I put my top up, it has not shrunk or distorted as vinyl tends to. It
goes up very easily. The top does not abrade against itself - vinyl
components tend to rub themselves raw I suspect because of the stiffness.
They look magnificent! The cloth top and tonneau always get visitors and
questions when I go to club events. The cost is the problem usually running
$200-$300 more than the vinyl. If you can afford it, it is well worth it
