I have a '22 275SD with 0.5 hours on it..... Hurricane Ian last year dry-docked me until now. I just threw up a ladder to start working on installing a 100W flexible solar panel on the hard top to keep my batteries topped off.

As I am cleaning the roof on the port side I see two of the large stainless bolts on that side not sitting flush with the hard top mount. I grab one and I can turn it with my fingers!

I assume the hard top is put on at the factory and not by the dealer..... but either way you might want to verify those bolts are tight! It would suck cruising at 40MPH and the hard top turns into a frisbee! :D

It is not an easy place to work but I am going to try to get to the bolts I can reach, add some LockTite and then tighten them down.
