Opening top to work on motor

[shadrach74]

My window often closes with a perfect split right in the middle. if it does not, I can manipulate into doing so from the inside without getting out of the car. The "chop" is rarely needed...

No way to put top in "service position" without stopping when putting up or down.

The chop is pretty important for plastic window survival. Just replaced top on my 2000 S. So nice to have clear view and no funky crease line. Just avoid the possibility of scratching when you chop or chopping when plastic is dirty or dusty.
