thought i was cool last night. doing a heel and toe at 20 bringing my top down. always wondered the big deal about topping down while moving. now i know. ugly crease in top left corner of rear window. any idea's on how to uncrease my window??As Kenn Sparks joked at HC00, lowering the top at speed acts as an emergency air brake. I regularly lower my electric top at speeds up to 40 mph--hold the wheel with knee whilst reaching up with both hands to unclip, then one foot on brake to override "safety" feature, the other foot on accelerator to maintain speed.
