Default T-top security.

When the weather is nice I like to have the top off of the Jeep. However, with my other Jeeps, I usually had a bikini top to keep the sun and wind from hitting me directly in the face. With the freedom top I have taken off the back but used the front panels as a hard bikini top. I am worried that with the top and doors off someone cas easily unscrew the front pieces and walk away with them inside of a minute. Is there any security feature to make this more difficult?
I have thought about getting a bikini top and if it gets ripped off then I haven't lost much.

Since I don't own one yet it is hard to say for sure, but maybe you could fab up some kind of cover to go over the top of the screw knobs in the sound bar. Maybe someone else will have a better idea.

You could probably change out knobs for a torx or alen screw this would stop most .

You know, as much as I hate Torx bolts, this actually is a pretty good idea especially if you get the security kind with the peg in the middle

I had thought of something like the locking gas caps. They could spin freely when locked and hold the bolt tight when unlocked. Not sure how to rig something.
