Operating the top while the car is in motion

even if you tricked it to think its always pulled, you still cant really move and use the top. just pull the ebrake 1 click (not really engaging the ebrake but the light will go on) and try to move and use the top... it wont, unless your at like 0 then kinda roll to 3 miles per hour, but then it stops again.

I read some where that the 05 Boxster has a change so that the top can be operated at slow speeds. I can't remember what the speed was, possibly as much as 15mph.

I have one of the smart top relays. The thing that I like about it is, you can don't have to hold the button anymore. Just hit it once and it will open or close by itself. It is also nice to be able to close the top, if you are still rolling to a stop. Also if you order it through renntech, it is only like $200.

I have no desire to put the top up or down while moving, but the idea is tempting purely because of the one push up and down.

Up to 30 MPH without wind.

Hi,

Anyway you slice it, operating the Top in motion puts some amount of extra stress on the Top. In other words, while it may not damage it, it certainly isn't helpful either.

Life is becoming too stressful for many, so take the time to run the Top while the Car is stationary and use the 10-12 seconds to BREATHE !!

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
