Is it slow or just intermittant? It may be one of the solenoids or switches.

no problems here....


Make sure you press on the brake and are at a complete stop. I noticed mine is tricky even if my car is rolling.

None as of yet!

I am wondering will the 07 top fit previous models. Especially with this new grey color top coming out!
