Do you guys do this alot? I find myself pulling off the 405 to put down/up my top, mwahhahahaha. They need to make a top/down feature capable of taking 75 mph wind.

You'd need 16HP top motors.

I don't exactly pull off, just pull over. Under an overpass if it is to put the top up for rain.

instead of pulling over, you could just do it while you're stuck in traffic.

Not to mention a reinforced top... taking the top back or up at 75mph would almost certainly rip the top off! DOH!

Sounds like you are in Southern Cal (the 405 freeway), in that case, when would you ever want to put the top up when driving?

if it rains-drive faster the only time mine is up is if it's raing super hard and im not on interstate, or if it is stupid hot. the top up/down while rolling mod is very helpful.
