Re: convertible top conversion

No one makes a conversion from manual to power top. Im sure you can take your car to a custom shop and have one custom built but it's not going to be cheap.

Re: convertible top conversion

As convenient at power tops can be, they are heavy, and the parts don't last forever. Give me a simple, easy to operate folding top, any day. And 30 years from now, it'll still work...

Power top saves what, 5 seconds? Maybe.

I've never seen a power top actuate as fast as I can move my top. Up or down.
