Default ......This is a nightmare

MY T-Top wasn't latched down cuz I forgot about it and its been awhile sense I drove it. I got it done and went for a drive. my drivers side t-top flew off when I was going 70 down the highway... theres nothing left of it ...

top it off its raining/snowing now and I dont have anything to cover it that the wind wont blow away....

This is a nightmare I swear..............

Another diagnosed sufferer of Flying Roof Syndrome.

Man that sucks. Nearly lost the roof off my Vette the same way once.

Luckily I hadn't made it up to highway speed and managed to hold it down till I could pull over.

Hopfully you can find a replacement cheap at the junk yard.

I would buy a cheapo Kmart tarp and get it tied down over the top.

If the weather gets too bad, it could wipe out the electronics in your dash.

No junk yards around and I dont have money for ANYTHING as Im already replacing the window in my Z car

on the flip side... it coulda been alot worse. just think if it woulda come off and went thru the windshield of a car behind ya. coulda killed someone. I know it doesn't make ya feel alot better but it coulda been worse.
