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.

Personally, considering all factors... Such as the more expensive Smartop at $299...(which i've seen used for as low as $75 to $150); and then the other top module the other gent posted, $150).. And depending on if this is like a home-made produced module, etc, I'd think it would be a very popular unit if priced around $75 or so. At that price range, I think a lot of people would jump on it.. Along with those that already want a module that does this, at that price point it would also attract the people who are "on the fence" about the mod, or could use it, but don't really care that much.

I'll see what I can do, $75 is borderline possible but things are looking OK so far.

Any other interest?
