keep losing t-tops :(

i have umi sfc's umi panhard and umi wonder bar and if i really stick it from a line i still flex a t-top now and then. its not a problem during summer when i go race because i dont leave the tops on in teh heat anyway. but now its getting cold and id like my tops to stay on. anyone have any idea what else suspension wise i can do to stop this?

ROPE

Seriously I would check the end pins or pin slots
for wear. Have key locks on mine but don't know if
that helps or not.

That could get pretty expensive in a hurry
