Driving with top down
#41
Also unless the rear windows are lowered before the top is closed, the seals and/or quarter window can be damaged. When the rear windows were raised manually with the top down, this lowering takes place automatically when the top is closed with our module.

As I think I mentioned before but will mention again I think the one touch open/close modification is a great asset to convert owners. It should have been a standard feature from the factory. The part that concerns me is the remote feature because I assume you turn on the electronics of the system to activate the top which in turn starts a power draw on the battery. For those who have a min. battery charge this could render the car DOA. My procedure for opening the top is to start the car and while in open loop idle I open the top. By the time the engine goes into closed loop at reduced idle the top is down and stowed and I drive away. If the one button press was locked out until the ignition was on and the car started I would think this exposure would be eliminated. Other then that it's a great feature.

Thanks , not knowing how the circuit is made I appreciate the info. Do I assume that the rest of the electronics don't wake up when the top is energized and is there any electrical load on the hyd. pump system. I just replaced my 5 year old battery that was at 80% max charge rate. I didn't start seeing any gremlins yet but with the new battery other then things being brighter there wasn't much change. As I said the modification is great and should have been a mfg. standard.

[QUOTE=WhiteXKR;2063611 The remote, besides the added convenience, it is just plain cool to watch, especially on the X150.[/QUOTE]
Having just fitted one to my X150 I'm happy with it, & can confirm it's cool. Just love walking up & the roof going down as you get in.
And if worried about your mechanic activating & damaging it on the ceiling, then there's that bypass switch to disable the system before you leave it with him.
