As someone else mentioned, if you ever have your wing windows out, replace the cross tip screw with a cap screw, future adjustments will be made with greater ease.

On our annual Father's Day campout last weekend, it was super windy going up Cottonwood Pass but the cool air was so refreshing. I deleted my A/C when doing a pop-top conversion and of course, the wings will not stay open at speed. It's pretty damn annoying.

I just purchased the Etsy arms. What the hell. I like to reward folks for DIY inventions that make my life easier and cooler.

All great ideas though, from the ceiling wire, to Nite Ize carabiner, and even the clamp probably works great. A big enough clamp might even hold a beer! (On back dirt roads where there are no cops or traffic, of course! LOL!)
