Just got back from camping in the Southern Sierras. Had a great time but the drive there was almost a complete disaster. I left West Hollywood CA Thursday morning and headed up the highway. After having been on the road for about 30 minutes my friend suddenly turns to me and asks “Did you lower the top.” Oh sh&t!, I hadn’t. I’d been on the freeway for a half and hour averaging 65 mph for 23 miles. I pulled over immediately and slowly got out of the car expecting to see catastrophic damage figuring my trip was over before it had really started. Much to my surprise the pop top was completely unharmed, not affected in the slightest! I couldn’t believe it. I inspected the top, lowered and latched it and headed on down the road. This is a testimony to the engineering of the pop top. The only thing that holds up the top are 2 lightweight push panels. How they held while doing at times 70 mph is a mystery to me.
