I have you seen someone trying to put their top up while driving? The top becomes a sail like on a boat. Common sense is to pull over or do it at a complete stop, And then either raise or lower the top. If you are still trying to do this You'd have to bypass the safety device which is probably a speed sensor of sort? That once disconnected would allow you to raise or lower your top at any speed. I strongly advise against it. |

What Trips said.
Try this little experiment: With the top down, get up to cruising speed (55-65 mph). Stick your hand up into the airstream, palm toward your direction of travel. Multiply that force by 100 (the area of the roof is about 100 times the area of your hand, give or take) and that will give you an idea of the forces involved.
