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.

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

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.

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!

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?
