I do own one, and yes you can move slowly, but here's the deal kid. The tops are complex, and you moving and jingling the roof around while it is closing is just asking for trouble. I think you can see rain coming without waiting for the last second to close it. It isn't all that slow, less than a minute. But it could take hours or even days to fix if you break it. Now, Dad has spoken....don't be moving and closing the roof or I will take your keys... Good luck...
