You're not the only one. I spent prob $1000 in T-tops over the years of having F-bodies and leaving them unlatched.

I always got mine from "TaCreations" in Florida. Were always in near perfect shape.

I've lost two in the past...

One on a '94 Formula, and another on my '02 Firehawk.

Both shattered.

Still have the busted piece of the t-top? I'm playing around with a project and need the latching mechanism, interior piece, rubber, etc... Basically everything but the glass.

Shoot me a PM or e-mail me at madelisle@yahoo.com

I had that happen to me when I was driving to the airport to fly to Vegas for Christmas one year. I had to have my buddy go get one that morning and he got it on my car since I had to catch a flight. That sucks.

That sucks. Although it's not like 85/285 has any shortage of debris. One time I almost hit a ******* COUCH going 90mph.

I mentioned ebay, NEVERMIND, more expensive

I just bought a C6 roof and they are WAYYYY cheaper for some reason than the C5's on there.

Although, if you decide to upgrade to a glass roof and want to sell your busted one cheap I might take it off your hands
