My wife doesn't like riding with the top down, so having a zippered rear wi=
ndow became a priority for me. 

 

Zippered windows started on TR250's. Trying to find someone to make one for=
 a TR4A was impossible. But I wanted one. The big 3 didn't have a clue. Tri=
ed all the usual suspects who made them. All said NO. So I decided to take =
the plunge and try to do it myself. No No, not modify the top, but to modif=
y the hoodsticks to accept a TR250 top.

 

All said and done, it takes more than you think. The front cross brace had =
to be modified to make it all work. The results are pretty much undetectabl=
e. Nobody noticed at the last Triumphest. I'll be going to VTR2016, so we'l=
l see how the car gets judged.

 

I love the zippered rear window.

I'm getting ready to order a new top for my 6.  I'm looking at moss and VB,=

 Thanks!
