Variation on the topic. How far does your roof go down? I dropped mine for the first time yesterday and it sticks up about four inches or so. It doesn't catch the wind or anything but I doubt whether I could get the cover on it.

I raise and lower the top 95% of the time with the engine running. I don't understand why they put this in the manual , I would think it would be easier on the electrical system with the car running, but.....

When it is 40 degrees outside and I want to put the top up , it doesn't close up all the way with the engine off...there's an inch or two gap between the roof and the headliner

I am sure that it is just a safety precaution. They think that someone will accidently put the car in gear and the top will act like a parachute.

Speaking of things in the manual that make you go "hmmmmm?"

How are we supposed to tow an S2000?

The only way is on a flatbed, OK so far. But how do you get your car onto the flatbed?

The tow eye insert for the bumpers is only for pulling your car out of sand or mud on level ground, not for pulling up a slope, such as onto a flatbed!
