If you check the adjustments every 3-4 months to make sure they are tight, YOU WILL NEVER LOSE A T-TOP FROM LOOSE ADJUSTMENTS. You will only lose one if you forget to latch it.
Your choice. Just take a philips screw driver to all of the screws and make sure they are tight. If you find any of them loose make sure the latch bolts and the mounting holes are properly lined up, then tighten them.
5 minutes of your time.

I had one blow off at 80 mph. It landed almost 1/4 mile behind me and did $1,800 in damage to the S10 blazer that it landed on. The driver of the blazer said "I thought it was a floor mat that blew out". Ok? So, you decided you should just let it land on your hood? Anyway, I decided that I'd started to take mine out, changed my mind and got in the car. I'm sure it had to have been unlatched. I had the windows up and just as I cleared 80 mph, it lifted off and blew away.

So last night im driving less than 30 seconds from my house and all the sudden i hear a loud whoosh sound and my passenger side ttop is gone. My and my gf spent an hour with spot lights looking for it and finally found that it had perfectly impaled itself through a stake on the side of the road, no glass left whatsoever. It was quite sad to see. Now the question is - I know it was secured and latched in, but not locked, but how the hell did it come loose? I was doing no more than 40 at the time. If anyone has a passenger charcoal ttop for sale let me know.
