Hi,

I drive a 2005 crossfire roadster...as my daily driver...and my wife drives it on week-ends. She loves the crossfire too, but has one major complaint...besides the cupholder.

She has a very hard time opening and especially closing the top by herself. I have not driven another roadster to compare...but the tension in the top is very taught...and very hard to leverage. I have mastered closing it with one hand...but I am built pretty solid.

Do others have this same problem? My wife is only 5'3'' and very petite. I tried lubrication to the top hinges...but that did not help.

My wife feels that the Crossfire Roadster was not made or intended fr women to drive...but I strongly dis-agree with that.

I am therefore soliciting comments...especially other female Crossfire Roadster owners.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Also, the dealer says there is not any adjustment for the top to make it easier to open and close...but as we all know on this forum...dealers do not know about our cars!
