Hard top removal ASAP

[TheGeneral]

Have to remove hard top tomorrow, and wondering if anyone know where to pick up the torx head driver with a circle in the middle of it. Can't imagine I have to make this, but if I can't get it somewhere in short order (by tomorrow morning) I will be drill out a torx in hopes of it working. Any suggestions appreciated.

If you ain't hurt, you ain't playin' hard enough.

So, why did GM use these tamper proof torx screws when anyone can buy the torx bit anywhere?

It is just not a tool that everybody carrys with them. They are also used on Fire alarm boxes.......Dan

If it ain't broke.......Don't fix it....

Yeah, you can find these torx bits anywhere. And I wouldn't exactly these "tamper-proof".

<font color=green>i guess it was so noone took the top off, or at least anyone who did might have been more mechanically inclined being you would have to go and buy the bit and know what it was...could you see the 200 lb hard top coming off on the freeway at 70 when joe schmoe forgot how to tighten up all the bolt's correctly,,lol

If the guy is already inside your vehicle to undo the bolts and he really wants your top but cannot unbolt it he may just take the whole show!!
