Convertible tops left unlatched flap during transport, even on a flatbed strapped down. The wind on I-95 will rip a soft top off its bows.

If the top mechanism is broken and won't latch, tape it down with painter's tape (won't damage paint) along the seal lines. Tell dispatch — we can also wrap with shrink to keep it pinned.

Same $99/hr rate for any tow. Book online for $99 first hour.
