Default Tee tops

Does anyone have an easy way to secure the tee tops in the back of the car when parked? I like to keep mine off all the time but like to have them with me in case of rain. I have tee top locks for when they are installed on the car. Is there some kind of mesh/chain that is availible to lock the tops in the rear compartment? I worry about going into the store and coming out to find my tops gone. :auto:

There is a factory strap that secures them when in motion, so they don't bean you on the noggin.

But, for security from theft. I have never seen anything like that.

Try locking your doors... :jester :seeya

Find a pit bull at your local pound. Whenever you plan on going out, starve him. Leave him in the car with the windows rolled up. Whoever tries to steal your tops will feed him for you. :)

there are some alarm systems that have microwave sensors that protect open areas like verts or t-tops off or jeeps. they sense when there is motion inside the protected area. Might be a little more expensive than what you are looking for but you get an alarm out of the deal too.

Get those vinyl "rain tops" like Paul79 uses. Not too expensive so you don't have to worry about them...

You might want to look into T-top suitcases that are for 68-82 tops. I just looked at my Ecklers ctatalog and they offer them for $119.99 :seeya

Where in Florida are you? I am in Sarasota. If you are in the neighborhood I should be able to dig them up for you if you want them. Email your phone number to me at Elitewoodwork@msn.com if you are interested and I will call you back....or just call me at work 941-355-2591. -Marc
