Default Speed Sensor for the top

Hey,

This is just an FYI as I dont know if any of you have done this or not.

I just cut the speed sensor wire so I could put my top up and down while moving slowly. Just wanted to say It is by far the best modifaction I have made to this car, not that there is much. Anyways if you havent done it I recommend it. Only takes 5 minutes to do.

Interesting...

I would be too scared that my top would go flying by accident.

Be careful. Even though your top will come up/go down there is a chance that you can bend your top frame doing that
