Default Stopping the top during operation.

Do you think there it harms the vehicle in any way to stop the top while it is going down? I know this sounds stupid, but y'all will learn that I am very ****. I can't get my back glass as clean as I want it. As small as my hands are, I can't get them between the glass and the little roll bar. If I could stop the top right after the back window drops, I could get it really good and clean.

Totally safe to do!

My top has been partially suspended during car show and goes right back up or down even if turned off and back on. Also when you get your back window tinted they have to suspend it also.

Thanks girl! 90% of the time my top is down and I don't have to worry about it, but with winter approaching......

Maybe I can get in some good car detailing time this weekend.

Default No problem

It's all good and about the only way I know to clean the inside of the back glass. BTW, it's in the 50's here and I'm getting ready to turn on the heated seat, crank up some heat, and roll with the top down. Sunshine is sunshine!

I'd love to come up for a ride in that Tennessee weather! It's usually so humid here in Houston.

I wouldn't be able to make it without my car that long if I didn't live right in the middle of Houston, I can walk to eat, Starbucks, Costco, etc. If I lived in the burbs and didn't have my car for a month I might just die! LOL

Thanks! I was really in the market for an IS-C, but couldn't resist saving $10K and getting a V-8. Any way you shake it, Lexus makes a schweeet convertible!

Agreed! I couldn't possibly love my car any more than I do.
