The name Flip Top came from the fact that you pressed on the tab and it flipped open (spring loaded). I could not believe I had to pull it open! You guys seem to be fine with the fact that they gave this car the look of the older version , but did it as cheaply as possible. Maybe it comes from the fact that I have owned a few e-bodys in my days (& still do), that makes things like this stand out to me.
