I have been having problems getting a good fit on my boot on my 2008 viper (don't know if its common to all gen III, IV or what. First off after tucking it in as good as I can get it and closing the trunk everything looks ok. When I get on the expressway the passenger side always comes loose (above 60-70 mph) and I have to reach back and tuck it in. The sides are OK but seem like a lame set up for a MPH car. My old MG-TD at least had snaps and I felt it held better. The other day I was cruising down I-75 (and in one of the worse places to have this happen) I got on it and got over to get on my exit lane(southbound). At about 80 mph 
the boot just sprang off the car. I had to get off and go back to the first exit to head south again. I didn't have much hope of finding it good shape. Of course when I took it to dodge (Sarasota Doge) they told me I must have put it on wrong. 1. I haven't had the top up in about two weeks, in fact I took it in because the windshield wipers were in-op and with 1200 miles on it I found out my wipers were out because I went through a car wash a couple weeks ago and neede to use them because the foam totally blinded me and I had to open the door slightly to make sure I didn't hit the wheels and make sure it was centered so I didn't hit anything else by being off center because the wipers were out. I waited a couple weeks before taking it in because I really don't like the dealer and this last incident did it as far as me getting another viper and I am thinking of trading my Durango in not at this dealer. If anyone knows a good dealer (I heard Orlando is one of the better ones in FL for warranty work) and if anyone has had problems with their boot? Thanks for giving me any advise.

I have had a few incidents with this dealer but this one did it, and at almost $400, Im pissed! 95% of my driving is with the top down.

Glad it came out in one piece and your tires and rims weren't damaged.
