Happy New Year!
        I got my Robbins Stayfast top form TRF, no problem there.  I had =
the top installed by a Robbins Certified installer here in =
Massachusetts.  The new top was difficult to get up, requiring a lot of =
tugging and convincing.  Both Robbins and the installer said that a few =
months out in the sun would relax the top, but it did not.  In speaking =
to a high end custom top installer a few years later he told me that the =
rear sections of the Robbins top were cut too tight and that was a =
recurring problem he had had with TR6 Robbins tops re: getting them to =
go up easily.  That being said, the top looks great and, to my mind, =
make the car look great.=20
        I=E2=80=99d be curious to know if others on the list with =
Robbins Stayfast tops have had the same experience.
        Best,
