Default Have you ever........

............driven off with the roof latches undone? I took off from an underground carpark the other day and as I got up speed noticed a rrrrrrr rrrrrr sound. It took a couple of seconds before a quick check of the cockpit revealed both roof latches sitting there unconnected. It had been a nice day and I had driven to my destination with the top down. I put the top forward and got distracted. Locked the doors and went off oblivious to my error. Whats the fastest speed before serious damage would have occurred ?

I'm ashamed to admit it but once I drove off and was actually getting on the freeway when I heard a noise sounding kind of like wind blowing. I checked the windows and they were up. I found that I hadn't locked down the passenger roof latch. That was at least a year ago and I haven't had any problems as a result of my goof.
