Dang...Nautilis lost his T-Top at prolly 100mph at the track, it flew prolly 25-30 foot up and landed on the pavement and all that was wrong was a scratch on the weather stripping.

Yeah that sucks. Justin knows how lucky I was saturday. We were coming back from a show and my ds t-top popped open from the middle of the car - but stayed on the car! I reached up and held on to it before i got to the side of the road. no damage except for a slight chip in the glass. If it came off the car it would have hit Justin's camaro! That would have really sucked!

Junkyards will probably bone you sideways.

I had mine fly off the top of my car on the highway because I was stupid and didn't latch it on the way home from autox a few years ago. The best deal I found was like 300 for a used one from some place online. The website/shop was pretty friendly on the phone. Hopefully you find them cheaper than I did.
