Default manual top latch
Just did the manual top latch mod and it works great. Now should I remove the resistor for the voltage reduction?

Leaving it in place is probably best. It makes life a little easier on the pump motor and on the ram hoses.

The only downside is that it increases the time required to raise / lower the top by a few seconds.

Tailight question. Are 2000 and 2001 same?
