Finally done! Got the rest of it done in about 45 minutes yesterday. Now I just have to devise a way to secure the clamshell so I can drive over 40 mph.

You saved the vinyl apron's life on this one. I was in the process of ripping it at the seems on day 1, but it got dark to quickly. I didn't realize it snapped out like that.

Also, I'm glad I didn't snap and break everything, since it's really tough getting it up and down without the pins holding some of the bars together.

Thanks again. And Maurice, I'm in Pittsburgh. Message me if you're ever out this way, I'll always be good for that Guinness.

The way the clamshell is hinged, it's never going to be a problem.

I've had my roof in manual mode and the clam unsecured for about 18 months, speeds well into three figures mph, the clam (and roof underneath) ain't going anywhere.

So far I've had it up to 65 mph without a problem, but I am nervous because I broke a couple bars while 'manualizing' it. Also I pulled out all the pins and only got 2 or 3 back in. I'll post pics next time I take it out.
