Pete R Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I am pondering putting the hard top on my 6 and wondered if anyone has ever converted one to a surrey or put a Webasto in it? I have looked on the internet but all standard Webastos seem to be too big, does anyone know if they can be made to bespoke sizes? Also I have all the chrome strips but no fixings or bolts. I think the fixings for the chrome are easy to get, but has anybody got a set of brackets and bolts for the mountings by the door they don't want? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 There is a TR6 down here with a hardtop that has had the glass flip up sunroof fitted to it. Different! Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david johnson Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 My 1975 TR6 which I bought in 1976, had a Webasto sunroof in it fitted by the dealers Evans and Cutler from new. It was Mimosa with a black hardtop. The sunroof had a tinted wind deflector. It was of course a short opening roof but they could be made to a short length. I had no soft top or tonneau and therefore had to be careful about the weather when the hardtop was off, which was rare. Id like to replicate it but guess the cost would be prohibitive. David.

peejay4A Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I remember casually throwing open the Webasto in my Capri one handed whilst moving. One runner stuck and the whole caboodle came down on top of me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denis Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Sorry...but I can't imagine why anyone would want a 'Hard Top' on a Sports Car anyway...let alone wanting to make an opening in it! Grow old disgracefully like me in Hemel...Driving top down blows away the years Peter! Edited October 30, 2012 by Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete R Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Denis I live in Kings Langley, why aren't you a member of the North London Group? I love top down too, but there are times a hard top might be good. I had a Surrey on my TR4 and you still get a lot of wind in your hair! Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dykins Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 This TR6 was waiting to board the return ferry at Cherbourg after CLM. Regards Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldBob Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Pete, don't forget Webasto is but one of a number of folding roof types, if you are looking for options the 'Weathershield' roofs made by Britax have a small size which may suit your needs. http://www.littlepor...tax sunroof.htm bob Edited October 31, 2012 by OldBob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Now that TR6 with the webasto roof looks tasty.I like it. Regards HarryTR5 Nutter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
