Okay..for those of you in the southern states-- (eg. not a lotta rain) using the boot and pissed it pops off (as mind did with the 2000 and 2001 model boot)::

You CAN "Zip-Tie" (aka. Tie-Wrap) the top while folded down across the passanger and driver sides (I'm talking about the top folding pieces-- rubber, not the boot) while compressing it by hand.

This causes the roof to STAY down, period. The downside, of course is that you need to manually CUT the tie-wraps if you want to put to roof up. (I'm hoping after a few months it'll conform to this position).

On the other hand, the boot WILLLLL stay on at 130+... (don't ask me how I know).

p.s. P.M. me if you don't understand what I'm talking about and I'll try to describe it better... but basically compress it by hand and find a place to tie-wrap it to keep that position... then put your boot on and enjoy the sun!

 

You should try something with velcro.

 

Damn.... thats a good idea. I hadn't thought of that..but 1 velcro strap on each side would do the trick. I've go something to do this week now!! Thanks for the killer suggestion!

I have a 00' with the tsb'ed boot cover and have no problems at any speed. It has never popped out.

 

If this fixes your problem, why not have TSB 01-038 performed? I didn't trust the dealership, so I did it myself. End of problem, and I don't have to worry about putting tie-wraps on and cutting them.
