I do the same thing. It's easy to swing them up and they don't rattle. However, one in the rear no longer stays up for some reason.Ted said:The latches swinging in the wind at night drive me crazy. I have found putting them in the closed position after the top is popped up takes care of it.
Having a newer Fleet the side fabric is still taut enough not to rattle in even high winds. I use aluminum jack stands to brace the frame of the truck on each side if I know the wind is going to gust.
