Actually it only goes up a foot or so and makes a big flapping noise
so you know right away to stop.  Don't ask how I know...

There's a little pin that sticks out of the latch if it isn't fully
latched.  If that pin is fully seated then you're securely latched.

When Dutiful Passage and I were fairly new to each other I once drove
her seven miles on country roads with the top fully up.  I noticed
that at 45 mph the engine seemed a bit gutless, but I didn't twig
until I got to my destination and got out.  Just about died on the
spot.  So don't feel too bad.
