I NEED A T TOP!!!!

[f bizzzle]

my drivers side ttop flew of on rt 80 and shatterd everywhere, i need another one asap! please get back to me!!!

[mtg6486]

lol was it locked

[foff667]

mtg it doesnt matter if it is or not...this has happened to hundreds of people including myself. Unfortunatly I don't have a ttop for you, but check cz28 & ls1tech...you might find what you need there.

[LS1Hawk]

I've heard of that happening before. But I can't see how it would? :scratch: Maybe the handle wasn't down all the way?

[maroman88]

my 92 had ttops and i never understood how people lost em either lol

in my case I was going at a high rate of speed under accelleration with the drivers window open...passenger TTop came off...not locked but definitly latched. locking really makes no difference though as long as its latched. Personally i think in my case it was partially chassis flex+the air pressure that did the trick.

No ttops = no worries
doesn't mean i don't wish i had them :-?

[firehawk1120]

happened to me too driver side, def. latched and more then likely locked but I can't guarantee it because I never found the top... Had the window open a little bit and heard a whisteling sound, doing about 80, went to put the window down and when the wind rushed in the top went flying. If I hadn't put my hand up the damn thing would have hit me in the head and who knows what would have happened.
Luckily no one was around when it happened, but 2 min later is started downpouring and I had to drive all the way home without a top... THAT SUCKED.

Seems to be much more common with the 4th gen guys than the 3rd gens.

3rd gen FTW!

Yea i lost a driver's side too. at about 60 mph i doewn shifted and took off with both windows down and see ya. made a nice sound right b4 it cliped the back of my head then flew away to shatterd on the highway behind me.


OoO not the hyjack the thread but does anyone have the dot matrix t tops? I trade for those with my i guess stock tinted ones that i have on the car now?

[jin1481]

speaking of dot matrix, my driver side is but my passenger is just plain tint...and wont lock with my key.

[BonzoHansen]

It is always the driver's side

errr...

[LS1Hawk]

Damn, hope that doesn't happen to mine. It seems the common trait here is having the windows open...but a nice day out, the windows are always open on my car and that ain't changing. I wonder if there are any reported deaths by T-Top?! Could you imagine driving down the highway and one comes flying through your windshield?

Can i trade my clear ones with the lock key for the matrix ones?

[qwikz28]

when my driversside one came off it left striations going up the plastic to prove i had it locked in. happened a month after i got my car :(

so what are you trying to say Justin? I'm an idiot because I own a third gen and managed to lose one on a rainy night of all times? Huh? just kidding...

[97Formula]

OMG! Is this really happening to t-top cars? If so, what can I do to prevent this from happening to mine? Thanks!

[V]

Tim, id rather not trade because i'm trying to unload all my parts and make room.

AFAIK, there's nothing that you can do. Just keep it latched all the time, and hope for the best.

everytime i latch mine in now i give it a little pull to double check its in there good. i think thats the least you can do now to keep it from happening (again, in my case)

bill said chassis flex mighta had something to do with it so i guess SFCs cant hurt

[njfastestcamaro]

[NJLT1SS]
