A big problem in today's consumer market is the effort manufactures put
into idiot-proofing stuff. Let the damn idiots do it & **** 'em.

You have to unlatch two latches, and if you do that, even if you don't
touch the motor switch, at highway speed, the wind will likely get under
the top and lift it up and rip the fabric from its metal frame.

I have driven at 10 or 20 and on a couple occasions for short distances
at 30 or 40 with one latch undone, but only in cars where where the top
stayed sitting on the windshield. Even if the fabric doesn't rip off,
the metal could get bent, and it would be really hard to know where to
bend it back.
