			Thank you for the response.  I am not planning on selling this car at any point so resale will not be a worry.  I drove an MG Midget for years and never had an issue on the manual function of the top...however, that was a much smaller top and lighter weight.  
 It was just one of those questions as I was putting the top up the other morning thinking...while this is a cool convenience, do I really need this if it breaks?
