Hi all Ive heard that there is a wire that when cut will allow the soft top to retract whilst on the move.

I dont want to cut the one that sees the handbrake on but I would like to be able to put the roof up and down in slow traffic where I can pull the hand brake up a bit to give me the signal.

 

Have a look in the FAQ mate....all the info you need to do the job is there.....with pictures too

 

May I suggest you buy a cheap panel removing toolkit from ebay etc etc
It will help.

Roger Murtaugh: I thought you said you were gonna cut the red wire!
Martin Riggs: Well I did, didn't I?
Roger Murtaugh: No! You cut the blue wire!
Martin Riggs: Well I meant the red wire.

 

I havent done this, but I'd imagine anything over a 5mph or something could cause damage.

 

Whichever you choose to cut, put your wire cutters around the wire and then with one second to go, change your mind and cut a different one. That *always* turns out to be the right one.

 

Its the black and white one on the smaller of the two blocks. Take your time removing the panel on the passenger side. I did this a few days ago and it all works fine.

 

So did I and I didn't even remove the panel. Took me 5 mins. All I did was loosen the panel enough to get my hand in by popping out the bottom 3 clips and then use flathead screw driver and my index finger to Eject the correct connector.
I'm 6ft 2 and I had plenty of room

 

It's only moving air that would damage it though, isn't it? I've put my roof down/up in gale force winds before, and that's >30mph. Not that I'm recommending driving at 30mph and trying it, mind you.
