I will be getting a 1995 Camaro Z28 soon with T-Tops and I was just curious how to remove the tops and put them back into place. A link to a page that already exists would be nice especially if it has pictures. Thanks.
I'm not sure how your year does it... but there is just a lever that locks in place.. you pull the lever towards the inside of your car and just pop it up...??? its not hard at all
Its easy ... There's a lever on the underside of the T top. And is also lockable with the door key, unlock it with the door key if it's locked, pull the lever towards the inside of the car, then simply lift it up and off .. Simple, and the reverse for putting them back on
Another thing: LOCK THEM WHEN YOU DRIVE. Even if they are latched, they can fly off if they are not locked. If the mechanism is hard to work, spray a lubricant such as PB B'laster into it, at the ends where it goes into the body frame, and also under the handle (You'll see it when you get the car).
There ought to be a set of hold-downs in the trunk. If not, you can have the ones off my parts car. they are the same, from firebird to camaro. They are marked which slot is for which panel. The latch side goes down, and you can lock them into the trunk.

Plenty of people have had them fly off on the highway or at the dragstrip, even if they are latched. :dunno: I never drove with mine unlocked, so I don't know.
I've heard that same thing before so I just always lock mine when they are put on. It takes an extra 5 seconds to lock/unlock them each time they go on or off and even if its only for peace of mind, it works for me.
The problem is the latch sometimes get too loose or the car rattles the latch loose. Then people who never really take them off never check the latch and boom they fly off. or it vibrates a lot and it pops it out and there goes your t-tops
so the lock to the right of the handle in the picture it to lock the handle so it cannot come unlatched? And you lock the panels with the door key that fits the normal locks?

Why would anyone put their tops back in?? That's kinda like putting the top on a Jeep Wrangler to me. If the weather is such that I need the top(s), the car stays in the garage.
