Manual top operation
 

I have seen various posts discussing similar so sorry if this has been said, but I can’t find my answer

Is it possible to convert the top to manual operation but full time and not just for inspection?
My car is at a specialist who thinks it is the alarm module under the seat, however EVERYTHING works but the roof, so if this was the case could I just convert my roof to open manually forever, my car is high mileage and unless it fully blew I can’t justify that much money just for roof operation, cheers

I have left them in manual mode for about a year before getting around to fixing them. I may just leave my '97 that way - it has a hard top anyway.

Here are some causes and solutions. I'm not sure that the alarm module will cause it to malfunction. Much more likely a faulty hand brake light switch, top relay module, latch microswitch, or mechanical problem.

Check out woody's (itsnotanova) original build thread. He made the top manual operation and used a trunk latch to secure the clamshell in place while driving. Pretty slick!
