Manual Convertible talk

As someone who experienced pinch tears to the OEM top ($$$), I am certain I would have noticed the "bind" if the top were manual instead of power, and done something about it before experiencing the tears. Pretty sure I was raising and lowering the top in my old Miata in under six seconds.
That said, with my 5'2" wife now DD'ing the S2000, I think a manual top would be more of a challenge for her (hmm, she stole the Miata away from me all the time, so...?)

How much does the Miata top weigh? Either way, the S2000 is such a small car and doesn’t need a motorized top. My 65 year old, retired neighbor drops his Miata top one handed, daily. If someone finds the manual Miata top to be too much of a physical exercise, I can only imagine what it’s like eating a bowl of cereal...

Euro_ricer, I'm wondering if you might have better luck obtaining an answer to this question over in the "S2000 Under the Hood" subforum.

Coming from a del Sol with a manual roof, wich i liked and never bothered me, i really enjoy the total luxury of the electric top on the S2000.
But i personally would not have a problem if the S2000 roof would be manually operated.
