So most of you have probably heard the myth that if you don't unlatch your t-tops before you jack the car up or put it on a lift you run the risk of them cracking. The question is, is this true?

I actually have been told that at a shop. They unlatched my t tops b4 jacking up the car. It was when I was putting new tiresnon the rims and they jacked up one corner. So on a so fourth. I always wondered if it was true

Never heard that before, nor do I beleive it. I've jacked several of these cars up so many times I can't count and this has never happened. Nor have I ever known anyone to have this happen.

But BS none the less. I jacked mine up with the T-Tops on all the time. Think about how much flex that would be to actually bust your t-tops. If that happened you would shatter your t-top every time you went over rail road tracks or a gradient.

yeah, its bs.
Im suprised nobody has brought up all the people to drag race their t-top f-bodies. Look at the guys that are twisting the hell out of the car pulling one wheel off the ground.
