If you haven't read this article, you may wish to before proceeding. Wayne from Pelican wrote the article after breaking the top mechanism on his wife's Boxster after installing a SmartTop.

It clearly states that he mistakenly did not release the top latch mechanism before pressing the button. Can't blame it on the smarttop.

I wasn't inferring the SmartTop was the problem...he is looking for suggestions to build into the unit and perhaps some safeguards would be appropriate. Though I have a one touch operation in my car, my hand is never too far away just in case of a problem.

Perhaps a stop start function while in motion would be best.

I am interested in top up while in motion......hate getting wet
