Quick Release Kit For Soft Tops??

Anyone know if such a thing exists? As it stands now, I have bolts to undo and I'm wondering if anyone has seen some sort of aftermarket "latch" type system?

Thanks.

Considering how long it takes to remove the soft top, unscrewing the 4 screws takes a whopping 30 seconds longer...

I replaced the torx screws with thumb screws a few years ago that I picked up at the hardware store (I lost the torx bolts). Soft top goes on and off without tools and quickly... theft was a concern initially, but then again, I don't put the nuts on the door hinges either.
