OK, the convertible drive cables can break and the transmission can give out...what is to stop from simply removing all the electric drive components for the top and raising it manually?
I am not talking about removing working parts...but if things give out, is this conversion possible?
I have been looking at the shop manual and if I am missing something as to why this should not work please let me know.

... arise from converting the top to manual:
1.- When the top is lowered you would have to secure it somehow because a gust of wind could make it rise at speed and then...
2.- If you eliminate the mechanicals you no longer have control of the clamshell which needs to first open before the top can be raised or lowered.
