I started putting mine behind the seat.

I thought I was just clumsy. Now I know that getting bitten by your targa top is a air cooled right of passage!

I wish I had taken a picture of my thumb after my Targa top bit it - big time. Like another poster said, only once! Now a days, there would be multiple warning stickers on the top frame about keeping your hands clear of the hinges.

Now that so many have so many have come forward the statistical likelihood that I am just a pure fool for letting my T-top rip a chunk from hand has been significantly reduced. This just confirms a 1970s Road and Track (I think) article's assertion that these cars will try to kill you if you don't respect them. Once bitten, twice .....

I've been warned.
