t-tops

[412CID]

Does anyone know of a way to secure t-tops permanently or a better way than the factory,1 of mine flew out the other day at the track when I launched.

U can do it yourself ....If needed I can guide u in the that I did mine

If you want to still use them when not at the track just use duct tape.

Are you using regular or locking style T-tops?
You could just lock them but I suspect that the body is twisting so much that they are coming out of their sockets.
Is the rear seat braced and the frame boxed?
If you are looking for a permanent solution you could extend the locking arms so that they sit into the sockets further with round bar.

or
Hillbilly solution...run a motorcycle strap across the roof from window to window.

Black silicone them in. Guys running 8's do the same thing. It is permanent but holds them in place.

car has a 14 point cage mid-high 9's,Im going to check the latching arms as soon as my new one gets to the house to see how far the arms go into the socket and adjust to make the arms on the tops go in furtherinto the socket and then silicone both down.hopfully that will work
