In order to operate while moving, you bend pin 18 on the relay.
That's the same with many of the auto top solutions

I've seen two different solutions for this; for the 2003-2004, not only do you have to bend Pin 18, but 15 as well and then wire in a jumper wire inside the relay.

The wire is not needed if you just lift the E-brake handle 1 click and then just pin 18
