me, well I would much prefer a manual top vs. an automatic one.
It would save weight, avoid costly repair issues and
I see absolutely no benefit to having the car do it for me while
taking 3X's as long to do it.
Using ball bearings or wheels to smooth out the travel of the top going up and down on a track would be my choice and inexpensive to fix and maintain.
I already hear one side of my top making a fussy sound when lowering.

p.s.
to avoid sweaty ass on REALLY hot days I would put a towel in the fridge and place it on the seat before jumping in. Keeps the sweat off the leather while the AC kicks in. But alas summer is behind us. I think they sell those steering wheel covers that get warm as you brush on it, has SHarper image written all over it probably.
