Default Targa top liner

Ok so the funniest thing happened this morning to me on my way to work. To help you guys understand why this might have happened out of the blue I will first say that I live in mid south Louisiana and the temperature down here has not been below high 90s in about a month and my car is a 2000 so 9 years old. I was about half way from home to work and all of a sudden I feel something hit me in the head and I see this huge black thing on top of me. It was my targa top liner that had fallen while I am trying to drive hahaha. Good thing I am not a jumpy person because I might have run off the road. Well I just thought I would share my funny story with you guys. Hope you guys have a great day.

I just noticed mine started to sag, right as the temperatures got into the high 90's and 100's

The heat must have softened the adhesive...I guess you need to drive without the targa top in the hot weather Indy
