Did you float away like Dorothy and end up in the land of Oz?

Not only do you need the E-Brake to be up, but you also need to not be moving. There is a sensor in the car that won't let the top roll up or down if the car is moving.

I don't know about the stook's top (not possible, I think), but we once lowered the top on a bugeye Sprite at 80 mph. It was during a late night rally and we were going downhill at 80 (Sprite's top speed). The top decided it was time to leave the car and it did just that. The only damage was a couple of snaps ripped out. A little needle and thread and the top was as good as new, which wasn't all that great because the top leaked like a sieve anyway.
