The point of my post wasn't so much to recommend frequent and reckless raising and lowering of the top at speed, as I would agree that common sense would tell you that might not be a good idea. I was more marvelling at the designer implying that the top motors could handle the job at up to 60 mph.

That's like the Hemi of top motors. That would be some cragee **************** to seem someone flying along at 60mph and raising the top.

Well, with the way the tension straps/ropes/etc and all the velcro keep popping loose (I'm actually taking my car back in next week because the tension strings are sticking out of my top, again) I can only imagine the havoc that would ensue if someone tried to raise the top at 60 MPH. Sure, the motors might handle it....
