Default Re: Do you need to manually push up the top and hold it about 6 inch?

3- Press and hold center button
4- When the top began to go down then I can remove my hand


To put top back on:
A- Press and hold center button
B- When the top is almost up, manually push up the top with my hand and hold it about 6 inch from the windshield frame
C- When the tonneau cover is closed, I can remove my hand
D- and turn the handle to closed the top

is the steps 2 - 4 - B and C are normal operation?

I was looking at these video YouTube - Chrysler Crossfire Convertible Roadster, Car Review. and notice that he just push up the top and they stay there.
It seems some do and some don't. However in most ofour cars the top stays up after you release it and push.

It may have to do with stiffness of the cover or just the way it was made. When it does that, holding the button andholding it up ain't fun.
