I feel for you, I do. However its an easy mod to bypass the handbrake for a grand total of nothing spent. Just keep your speed below 25 when lowering or raising the top. Ive not forgot yet but I do have to hold the button as I work the top. Personally, I kinda like it that way, it reminds me to keep my speed down. Instructions are likely available for free, google it, its in the 101 projects book but its probably also available on the webz. IIRC its just a matter of bending one pin over on your stock relay and running a ground to another pin, piece of cake and took me about 15 minutes.
