Just parking up on Sunday after a day out with the roof down I found one of the bolts where the aluminium strut connects to the top of the folding roof section had fallen out, so that arm was completely detached.

Easily fixed, but having heard stories of the roof sections flying off when one arm isn't pushed into place it made me wonder if it could have its way loose while the struts were supporting the roof, and what would have happened then...

I'll be keeping an eye on them from now on...

Had similar happen to me ... while travelling along my fav road, floored the Tamora and just approaching warp 1 when heard loud wind noise, and sudden appearance of daylight

Bolt holding side of hood had vibrated loose

Gingerly walked back to try n find remains of roof panel - found it imbedded in muddy field and still in tact.
The bolts are now secured with loctite!
