There's no need to secure the clam.

Due to the weight of is and the way it's hinged, it's not going anywhere.
It is not from worry of flying up, rather it bounced when going over bumps and that drove me nuts. Also with the new top on her, the clam shell tends to ride high until the fabric and top are broken in.

Thanks and given enough time I am sure an alignment/limit switch situation could have been worked out. However... I am not selling this car and there is zero chance the top will fail ever for either myself or my wife where ever we are.
