"I was saying that with the clam unattached, it's never going to happen due to the way it's hinged"
Never is a very strong word! Logic dictates that it only has to happen once for 'never' to be false!
I guess i just don't understand the point in electric shell/manual top. In this configuration, your transmissions are timed, your motor works...why not just hook up the top pivot rods and be automatic?
As for weight, I'd estimate each transmission at less than 10 lbs, the motor and cables at less than that. Lets call the whole thing 25lbs. Given that you gain about 1 hp/14 lbs, you've added less than a whopping 2hp to a 200 hp car.
I think I'll go on a diet, but keep my power top.
