ttop flying off?
Uh, lately, if I drive down the freeway my drivers side t-top starts making that sound like when you have your window cracked just a bit. Like air is getting under it...I grabbed the side where the handle is and pulled down and it stopped, then when I was going slower i pushed up on it and its got like a half inch of play up and down.. thats not good. What can I do about this, Id rather if it didnt fly off on me hah

sounds like the pins that lock teht-top down are getting sloppy. Soln. is to go get more t-tops form a junk yard.

mine have the same problem... all the flex causes the t-tops to loosen. You can adjust the brakcets which will help but mine only loosened again after i did this because of how flimsy the bodies are on these t-top cars. If my car was actually worth something id get sfc's and bracing to stiffen it up.
