We picked up the car yesterday.  Lifted the saps along the rear section and=
 found the metal rail that should have been in the rear of the convertible =
top.  It was mounted to the body.  So either the last top installer didn't =
know how it went together, or figured they had a "better way" to do it.  Si=
nce we have the parts, it will be a simple fix to put it together the way i=
t should be.

Thanks to everyone for confirming how it should be.

Subject: [TR] TR6 convertible top questions

My friend just bought a 76 TR6.  On this car, the top attaches differently =
than my 74.  On my 74 the rear of the top where it connects to the body (ju=
st below the back window) was permanently connected to the body.  With this=
 76, the top snaps to the body.  Is this the way it was done in 76?  Or has=
 a previous owner changed the connection?

He is considering changing the black vinyl top on this 76 to tan.  I see Mo=
ss sells a StayFast tan.  Does anyone have experience with this?  Good? Bad=
?  Are there other types/brands/vendors he might consider for comparison?
