Well I was driving on the interstate at around 75mph and it flies off.....I watched it flip through the air and hit the ground flop up in the air and land in the grassy median. I do NOT know how it happened. My t-tops are always locked in, I left my doors unlocked last night and Im thinkin maybe someone unlocked them. I dunno though. It DIDNT shatter, scratch, or break at all...It had a lil bit of dirt on it and that was is...After 15 mins of walkin/drivin along the interstate I finally found it. I felt like an idiot lol standin in the median holdin my t-top :-(...I guess I can count my lucky stars on that one...

Seriously! Usually you might find parts of it but never the whole thing intact.

yea I was very lucky...in the aspect that it didnt break completely undamaged and that it didnt hit another car..the car that was behind me jus had gotten off the interstate before it happened. Man did I ever like thank God for that one lol. My dad was with me and was like I wish I had your luck....I'll have some better pics of the rims on my car I finally finished painting all fo the calipers and rotors sunday after the t-top flew off lol

My buddy was at the track with his 2000ish WS6. He was doing around 105 mph and hello, that thing flew off and went high up into the air, and the landing? lets just say that all that was left was the weather stripping.lol.... But he still pulled off a 12.13 ET. So oh wellEddie
