One Touch roof raise lowering

[TDP]

Has anyone tried converting the roof switch to a one touch using a delay timer relay in between the dash mounted switch and the roof module? In theory I think it should work exactly the same as holding the switch down. I haven't explored the wiring as yet but would guess it will require two delay timers one each for raise and lower. Any information or thoughts...it may be a mad idea but sitting holding the button is frustrating.

I think it has been done and with a remote too but do leave the option to stop it part way. I thought about doing something similar ages ago but is it really that frustrating to hold the button down or am I not going topless enough?

I suppose its not a major issue but I was used to having a remote roof on my last convertible and I miss it! Still exploring the options and looking at a Viper alarm. Good point about having the option to stop it half way. Needs more thought.

Yes I'm quite sure it's an option with a Viper Alarm and with the bonus option to operate the rear windows separately. Check Luxlink too though it could be just about impossible to get hold of one..

Agree w Neil. Is life sooo busy that there's no time to hold a button (while relaxing in your luxorious motor car....)??

There's an art in posing thus!

I think it's 29 seconds to lose the roof.

Even more posy to have the roof lower as you walk towards your luxurious car 🙂 Sadly in this weather opening it any way isn't really an option.
