Targa Band not so aerodynamic

So i was on my way home from work today when my Targa Band decided to let go at highway speeds. Not happy at all about it

Yea same here, didn't think it would ever happen. the screws are still attacked to the car, The wind just got under it a little and the weak fiberglass just cracked.

lol im not sure what im going to do with them now. Its going to be hard to find ones that are in better condition as those.


lol yea i had both of them but one of them was connected to the targa band when it flew off the car. Im sure the junk yard will have some.
