That happened to me on an on-ramp doing 70mph after shifting into 3rd gear, then I looked up and my passenger side t-top was airborne.....looked for 2 days and found nothing, not even glass or the trim pannel. I was mad, but later on figured it was not my fault.
Losing t-tops suck..but yeah, after the first one flew off, let out of it.

Happened to me on my old 2000 WS6 TA.
I was out in the garage one night working on the plastic panel up by the t-top. I unlatched the t-top to lift it and look at something. Just then the phone rang in the house. I set the top back down without latching it. I talked to whoever it was on the phone and ended up going to bed. Next morning I leave and as soon as I hit over 70 on the highway away it goes. I watched it land in my rearview mirror and I saw exactly where it landed. I went up to the next exit, turned around and came back. I was back in probably two minutes, and somebody had stopped and stolen the ******* thing.
I looked and looked and it was gone. I saw right where it landed like I said, so I know someone must've taken it.
It was around $500 to replace the whole thing if I remember correctly.
