Thanks for posting this I found this to be wonderful. Before this site I didn't even know these existed. Then I find out and right away a video is posted. Maybe it's just dumb luck but I still appreciate it and I'm sure everyone else here does as well.

Why oh why didn't ASC make our US version top like this? That looks so much better with the top down then ours. Damn you ASC!

I thought the convertible boot lid opened by itself with an electric motor.I didnt know you had to still get out and open it by hand.

I thought it was like the E30 bmw type style roof were all that opened up as you were letting the top down while you were in the driver seat.

In my opinion our style is better,but thats just my opinion.I do like the look of the convertible lid though.

That's what I thought too!!! To me, it's just too much manual work. When all the parts in good condition(especially elastic band), you don't have to get out to drop/close the top on 240 vert. I get out and fold the rear window when top is down half way to prevent crease.

But still, I'd definitely don't mind some manual work to have that clean boot cover. Have you guys tried Mercedes, Saab, Volvo or BMW convertible? Everythinig's automated even locking/unlocking the top.

well it doesnt pop up from the motor for the roof, but it does kinda just flip up due to weight balancing in the boot maybe? the reason mine doesnt is because i just recently refitted my rear seats (took em out for more room to put drift rims in for the track :P), and i havent had a chance to stop the rubbing yet.
