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?

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
