Seems like I remember a discussion in the past about not really needing the side latches for the Miata hardtop. Can anybody enlighten me? Will the windshield header latches and the frankenstein bolts at the back secure it adequately?

My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.
I drove about 1500 miles without side-latches without a problem, but I added them because I felt a little extra piece of mind was worth $20.
Anyone now if the disintegrating Hardtop incident at Hallett was latch related?
Maybe I'll figure out a way to zip-tie it on

I've been running back and forth to events with just the front latches. It hasn't been a problem.

Thanks, guys. I can now confirm that the side latches are not absolutely necessary.
