I forgot to lock my t-top!! Just like the title states. I forgot to lock my passenger side t-top and I was driving normally when all of a sudden the t-top flies out of the car and into the concrete! Its happened 2 me before but it didnt break like this time!! I'm not sure how to cover the t-top area now, should I use plastic glass or something meanwhile I wait on the order of the replacement top.

^ check Ebay... I swear I thought I saw a site somewhere where they were selling replacement tops. OH! Try Year One also.
I've been driving my car for about 5 years now w/ the t tops unlocked (LATCHED but not locked) and I've been pretty lucky...
Did you forget to LATCH it or LOCK it?

I lost a latched t-top on my old Camaro hauling *** on an on ramp. the t-top just flew off and skidded across the ramp to an adjacent ramp and into the grass. scared the crap out of me! The good part was the t-top was beat up but it didn't shatter so I just picked it up, cleaned it up as good as I could and kept using it.

i was trying to get my gf's big *** tv in the back of my t/a and it wouldn't fit so i took t top off and i got the tv in but i forgot to latch it back so we were driveing across a 3 mile bridge i diced to go about 80-90 then i see this big shadow go over my car i look up and my t top was gone i looked in the rear view and my t top was like 30 feet up in the air and then bam in to the other side of the bridge i dont think it hit any 1 i hope so i smashed it go to the end of the bridge the u turned and went back for it hoping it didn't break but all that was left was a big pile of glass in the middle of the road so i parked and went back and got the lock from it i bought a new set and replaced the locks now i got a extra passenger side t top for sale if any 1 needs 1
