IMHO: Cloth tops look better, shrink less, cost more.

I recently bought a top from this outfit:

http://www.topsonline.com/model/Convertible_Tops_And_Accessories/Triumph/1969_thru_1976_Triumph_TR6_Roadster.html

It was not for a TR6 though.  I worked with Vic who was helpful and seemed
knowledgeable.

I have had about every material at one time or another - grained vinyl,
Everflex, Stayfast -- that choice is mostly a matter of opinion.

What I will say is that I will never have another top without a zippered
rear window.  That feature makes the top much more useable for how & where
I drive.

Bryan;

I bought a black Stayfast top for my Six about 10 years ago from
Prestige in the UK.

See http://www.prestigeautotrim.com/uk/triumph-tr-carhoods-tr6.html

It has been a pleasure to own and looks as good today as the day
I got it (with a zippered rear window).

Always be careful how you clean that rear window, by the way....
nothing with ammonia in it..... ever!

I recently purchased and installed two tops from Prestige in the UK.
They are the best fitting tops I have seen.  The side pillows fit all the
way inside the windows,
so they really seal.

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.

absolutely positively cloth top

absolutely positively zip out rear window - note dual zippers are a must!!!! 
I am stuck with a top with a single zipper and it sucks.  very simply - my 
old top had two zippers.  while driving I could reach around and pull each 
zipper either up or down.  cannot do with a single zipper.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone, I really appreciate it!  I got two
recommendations for the Prestige tops.  Is this a long delivery time?  I'd
like to have the top ready to install in a couple of weeks.  Is this an
unreasonable expectation?  Thanks for all the reply and inputs!

Bryan;

Some companies offer options for color, zippers, fabrics, etc. that
can lengthen leadtimes for delivery. Stock items/colors are generally
shipped immediately or within days of order receipt.
