Hey, Clyde:

Just to help your memory along on your Mom's MGBs...you didn't mention what years of cars she had, but the B didn't come standard with a zippered rear window until 1976.  According to Moss Motors however, you can get a zippered rear window top for any year of MGB.  They are constructed the same as you described for the Z3s; they have a flap that covers the zipper to keep water from seeping through.  My '73 MGB has a zippered rear window in its top and I absolutely love it!!  It's too bad that the Tigers didn't have that feature on their convertible tops.

Clyde;
I have had a 1974 MGB since 1998. It came to me with a zippered rear
window. I recently replaced it with a new Robbins zippered rear window.
the window in the old top was still very serviceable, but the vinyl top
appeared to have shrunk a bit which made the top very difficult to clamp to
the windshield frame.
These zippered windows are very popular with the MGB crowd. The window can
be stowed with the top up, keeping the blazing sun off the occupants'
heads, and allowing a brisk cooling breeze to flow through the car with the
door windows rolled down. If a Tiger top was available with a zippered rear
window I would buy one.
