salvage yard or on here. i did the same thing years ago in my 96. i turned it in to my insurance company. I think it was like $700 for one side only. i only paid for my deductable. make sure you keep the guts from the old one so that you can swap the lock from the old to the new.

wow man that sucks major! this actually about freakin happened to me Saturday. idk i guess i forgot to lock it back Friday night when i got home but heading up to a Truck pull/mud run i started hearing air coming in at around 65 mph.... scared the hell out of me and i locked it as fast as i could. i'd probably cry also if i watched one of my t tops fly off my car!

so its important to actually lock them down with the key? i would imagine that what you all mean since its too easy to close the latch. maybe i dont have a problem with this because i have subframe connectors.
