Soft-top Open/Close Modification

This may have been discussed before but struggled on a search to find anything.

 

In standard form, you need to have your foot on the brake to open/close the soft-top, however I was wondering whether there was any way to modify this so you can open/close on the move. When I say 'on the move' I mean at crawling speeds not above 10mph. Basically so you can open/close whilst in traffic but still keep up with the car in front. I appreciate open/closing on the move could rip the hood off hence the 'crawling' speed.

 

There is something called smartTOP that you can get for BMW (https://www.wit-usa.com/sms/shop/index. ... ome&menu=1) that does the job however they don't offer it for a 350Z Roadster.

 

Anyone done or heard whether this is possible??

 

Cheers.

Been thinking about this idea myself since I got mine - you can get the time down to 15 seconds if you drop the windows in advance (and traffic lights are never long enough)!!

 

I was wondering about a seperate switch to pretend its the brake switch thats activated so you can move along at a reasonable(slow) speed and carry on with the operation but I think its computer sensed anyway ? :headhurt:
