My convertible top tore off while driving down the highway...
Oh what a wonderous day.
On my home from work, doing a solid 80mph down the highway a sudden "WOOOOSH" and "flappy flap flap". Pull over to the side of the road and with some mighty Gorilla duct tape, carefully taped it back into place. Now, when I say tore off, it tore off the center bar and started catching wind, the wind tore it down the side and dang near completely off the car. I regret not taking a picture, it was pretty epic looking. So looking online at convertibletopguys.com, any one have any experience with their tops? |
Lol!. I was riding in a friends car one day when the hood flew up. An in car camera at the time would have been priceless.

I lost a Driver's side T Top on my 87 MustangII doing 75.
I guess you need to latch those things down for some reason..lol! and Tony..feel ya there.. Had an oil change done on the Montana and the guy didn't latch the hood.A semi came by and Bang..3000 bucks of damage. |
It was latched down.
The vinyl decided it wanted to die and tor apart. |

I got a canvas top from then a few yrs ago and it's been great.

i put a vinyl on and regretted it after seeing a canvas, go canvas. if you can bench press 180 u can put the top on, pushing the class out was hard but there is plenty of advice on it all if you search

Go canvas.
