Don't "hit" it, just press gently

or you risk cracking the plastic anyway.

Mmmm...That would look quite strange to other motorists at the traffic lights. lol What's the point of having a power top?

I agree, what's the point. I didn't realize when i bought mine, else i would have gone for an 03.
I have one question: is this chop thing a forever thing or did people experience that after a while the plastic window 'chops itself' gently in?

Thumbs down

I had a chat with my service manager about this recently. I LOVE the Box but of all the ridiculous requirements for customers, this is the tops.

He actually told me he would not replace a back window on a warranty claim because obviously I did not put the top down CORRECTLY!!!!!

Hmmmm, I have a 60 grand car here that doesn't REALLY have an auto top?

Geez, you think the thing was an old Jaguar!!!!!!!!!!!
