Always remember to latch your t tops!!!!
i learned the hard way to check if theyre locked. i was driving in a giant windstorm and i turned a corner and the land around went to a flat plain instead of trees so i guess that when it flew out, since the wind could really pick up (60+mph). the wind was soo loud, coupled with my music which wasnt all that loud, and i had my windows down, so i never heard it go, just felt it. found it broken as hell about 200 feet from where im assuming it went out.
moral of my story: dont let your gf put them on without supervision. (they dont know about the latching feature)
its alright though, my neighbor just ordered me one for $80 new so itll be here tomorrow. i paid for one from a guy on here a month ago though (un17real) and he hasnt sent me the son of a bitch. i told him i want my money back like 2 weeks ago and he hasnt signed in. ....first & last time i buy something on tech.

That happened to me 3 times in my time, about $300 a pop (about 5 to 7 yrs ago). After paying that much and bearing the embarrassment, learning to latch everytime is second nature. You'll latch them for sure now.

i know man you **** was GONE!! but when it happened to me i even had enough time to look at it lifting up an inch and shout OH ****!!! before i pulled it down lol maybe becuase you were hauling *** and i was doing about 55-60
im guilty of having my t-top flying off too, i was racing this guy from my school on the way back home and right when i was slowing down i heard the famous swoosh of the t-top flying off and watching the glass shatter as it hit the ground
i was driving down the road goin bout 80 and i heard wind coming in i said to my buddy o **** my t top seal must b bad i can hear wind coming in so i stuck my hand up there to see if it would get louder then the t top lifted and fluttered there for a second i reached up and it flew up i was ab le to grab the handle and it flew to the side of the car and i had the windows up my buddy grabbed the wheel and threw it out of gear as im hanging onto it and all i got from it was a scratch on the window and t top and a pair of pants full of ****.lol -tony-

i hate it when someone is about to record some cool as ****, but the camera man is a ******* dumb ***. and they always fail, and miss the best part of the clip. its like he flinched because he was scared the t-top was going to hit him.
