LoL..Got me too. Years ago when she was my daily driver I was Out driving with the Targa off the night before. Lightly screwed it on cause I was planning on removing it the next morning for drive into work. Well I woke up late & rushed out into the Supra. Needles to say it was removed on my way into work but not quite as planed.

There is no other way. If you tighten up the bolts, it won't come off.

For the record, I've lost two of them. Both times it happened when I reached eight mph and both times nobody was behind me and both times they were fubar'd.

Same same, verbatim. Only mine didn't come off till about 65mph, and it scared the shiite muslim outta the CRX driver behind me. He got out of the way in time though, since the top gained so much altitude before falling.

How precise of you. 8mph? or 80mph?

LOL i was gonna take that to the grave. I wasnt gonna mention almost losing a roof on here. ROFL! I was talking to some buddies as i screwed the top back on, but somehow i got distracted and only tightened the back. next thing i knew i was going down the street and heard the roof starting to flap around. It must have looked messed up. Kinda like a guy with a bad hair piece flapping in the wind or when people grow their hair long and come it forward to cover there receding hair line.

Well im glad i didnt lose my roof and i feel a little better that this happens from time to time lol
