If I were to tape pin 18, would I still have to hold the button down to raise and lower the top?

Yes, you still have to hold the button down but now you can do it while the car is moving...

I think Perfectlap is talking about a different component that just affects the dash switch. Basically imitates you holding the switch down to open/close the top.

That, in combination with the pin18 mod might be a cheap way to get the 'auto top' functionality for cheaper.

.... I might try it.
