Unhappy horrible freeway incident with t tops

I have a 94 Z and yesterday one of my t tops flew off on the freeway and shattered to pieces. I was devastated. I called the dealer and they wanted $754 for one. Where can I get a much better deal? THis is the last thing I needed. Thanks

Hey man,
Don't feel too bad, I donated one to Hwy 78 in Oceanside (you shoulda seen that baby get airborne), and another one on the 5 near Chula vista. At the time the best prices I found were @ a salvage yard, but now I would check Ebay for the best prices. Good Luck !

Hey dont feel too bad Ive done it twice in 2 years. Last year in the middle of the night coming home from work on the turnpike so I couldn't turn around. And then just last week I lost another. Both times it was because i was in a rush and just sat them on top and then woke up the next morning and forgot about it. At least you saw yours break. Mine are probably in a ditch somewhere or in the woods!

As for your question get one from a junkyard I got both of mine from there for a 100 a piece. Or try speedautomotive Hope this helps
