Ttop storage?

I have an 86 trans am and i dont know how to store ttops when i drive. I have a zipper bag with straps. But wouldnt it break them on the edge if you hit a bump? Shouldnt i have a folding plastic thing?

no, put them in, strap them down. There is a middle section that is supposed to protect them from scratching. They don't break when you go over a bump when they are on the car... They are pretty durable.

Yea the plastic cover that covers the trunk motor etc. i just thought they would still kinda bounce and break. Because they hang over the edge some.
