quick latch for hard top

[ripper72]

I am sure someone has posted on this but I cant find it. Anyone used any latches or another contraption to hold the hard top in place? I would like to figure something out that will allow me to take it off and on quicker.

I put these in the holes.

You need this tool to install them.

You can use standard body bolts that typically hold the top on and you don't need to have nuts on the underside. You still have to use nut and bolt along front edge though.

I just bolted every other bolt.. takes me half the time now to unbolt now ;D

i would think convertable top windshields clamps could be adapted easily. maybe two at windshield, two at rear and a few easy access bolts for saftey. i would say to use pins for a quick line up method. mounted upwards at b pillar??? just my thoughts. good luck, and you can do it
