My Car is Jacked

I was driving down the highway last night and all of a sudden, I had a clear view of the sky above me. My t-top had flown off like the top of a jet when the pilot ejects. I need a replacement asap and am willing to drive if you're in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. If you're not, I'll pay shipping.

Need some help...

Try posting in the parts wanted forum.
It sounds like you need to adjust the screws in the latches to keep them from flying off.

Lock that **** man..!! It would be crazy to be driving down the freeway and have a t-top fly off. I would feel like if I was in a movie or something. Like Top Gun..

Hope there was no one behind you! And those who came after you later I'm sure had a nice glassy obstacle course to navigate.

That happened to my buddy in his Z when I was following him. It was sort of funny since like you said, I thought he had a catastrophic failure and had to eject. Luckily I was following close enough that is flew right over my car without hitting it. He got lucky too....the t-top landed in the grassy median without a scratch much less shattering. Needless to say he locks those bad boys now!
