Happy New Year!

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.

I got a Robbins top for my TR250 and installed it myself.  It is hard to
put up, the snaps are near the bottom on the lower back sides and it is
still a bear to get them on unless hot and sunny.  Also hard to stretch it
to the rail.

This would be consistent with either the tops being cut a little tight in
the back, or me no knowing what I was doing when I installed the top.

I always store it in the winter on, as figure that makes it less likely to
shrink, and on sunny days I sometimes put it up and kinda try to stretch it
out.  Not getting any better,but not getting any worse either.

Soft top fabric stretches in the heat & contacts in the cold. A top that 
had its fittings put on during a warm summer afternoon will shrink in 
cold weather & be next to impossible to fully fasten up when it is cold. 
My suggestion is to fit the snaps during cool weather when you would 
normally erect the top to protect from cool weather whilst driving. It 
will tend to be a little loose when erected to protect from hot summer 
sun, but at least you will be able to get it properly fastened down 
during cooler weather and you wont be trying to stretch it enough to get 
it fastened if hit by a shower while motoring.

Thanks Teri,

That is a lesson learned, a lot of what I read said to put the top in the
sun so it would be warm and pliable, but if I were to do it over again
would probably do it in the garage on a warm day.

I did mine outside in fifty something degree weather & never had a 
problem fastening it in any weather. Sun or no the fabric is more 
pliable & easier to stretch on warm temperatures.

Of course right now my soft top is in a tote as I am using the optional 
hard top.
