30PMH! Wow you're brave! I'd be afraid of the top acting like a parachute and snapping the frame!
No downside that I know of.

The karate chop is when you start to lower the top... about half-way... hop out... and "chop" the middle of the vinyl window in the middle so that when completely you open the top the window nicely will be folded in the middle... as opposed to scrunching up.

Some put a soft towel or microfiber cloth to further mitigate any light scratching or crease marks.

If you do the top mod and find it's not for you... you can just bend back #18.

There was no wind that morning I tested the feature. I wouldn't try it in a strong headwind.

I found Pedro's instructions were complete.

Top Operational while-in-motion

Cheers!
