I have just completed installing a new Prestige Canvas Top on my 1975 TR 6. It was a bit of a chore but the finished product is very high quality and I learned a lot. The first order of business was to sort out the original top frame. That was educational. High praise for Moss Motors' support and parts service. The Prestige Autotrim twill top in beige twill is well done and is a perfect fit. "Perfect" to the point that it would have been helpful if the fabric was just a bit longer to aid in the stretching and gluing in order to make certain that there is enough fabric to to be secured beneath the aluminum weather strip channels on the front header. There was, barely, but it required serious attention and stretching. Additionally, one need not get too excited about Prestige's "50% discount sale" as this is obviously their normal everyday regular price. If I can do it, anyone can.
 
The Tr6 is a cakewalk compared to a Tr2/3. Glad you had good luck. The advise here is to buy a
good top. Not a cheap one, to try to save a nickel and fight it for days. It never turns out well.
