Manual Top

I converted my '02 top to manual operation after one of the cables broke. I disconnected the front bars that connect the canvas top to the transmissions. I replaced the cables and synchronized the transmissions. I now use the button to raise the clamshell then manually raise or lower the top and use the button to lower the clamshell. Just have to lower clamshell before latching the top or the switch doesn't work. I wouldn't change back now that I've lived with it. It's as fast or faster than fully motorized and provides better access to the engine hatch. Before I used the transmission for the clamshell I used a bungee cord but I was less than happy with the need to get out to operate the top. I can put the top up or down while belted in the drivers seat.
