fantastic! excellent soln. fyi, to those that question the concept of a manual roof, some remove the motors to reduce weight. and some want the old-school roadster experience which includes manual roof. and some have noted that you have to get out of your car anyway to properly fold the plastic window, which sorta negates the whole automatic roof concept.

Just to note not in the 2003-2004. IMHO, my 2004SE value would be significantly negatively impacted with a manual roof conversion. Great tip for those who want to convert, however - most simple, elegant solution I’ve seen.
