When my windows are out & top up, the back portion of the top lifts off...
and it is a royal pain. Now that hot weather has arrived I like to keep the
top up for shade and windows out for ventilation. But, the rear portion of
my top - drivers side - slides off the rail due to ?? wind. I seem to
remember this discussion before.
Has anybody found a fix short of getting a jamboree top or bikini (which I
have).
Thanks,
Andy

Your top must be awful loose.

It's not and the top is in good shape. Has done it since I can remember.
But I thought there was a thread about this problem awhile back.

Re: When my windows are out & top up, the back portion of the toplifts off...
The bows should keep the top tight. There should not be enough play for
the rear sections to 'slide off due to wind'. You might check the
condition of the plastic parts of the bows. If these are worn, your top
will be loose. You can get aluminum replacements.
