Cabrio question?

Has anyone modified there cabriolet wiring to allow operation of the top with the vehicle running? If so, what needs to be modified and was it easy to do?

Keeping the thread alive. I have to think someone has done this. I would love to be able to easly lower or raise the top when stopped at a light. I have been tempted to many times and shut the motor off, get the top half way down and the traffic starts moving, no choice at this point but to wait it out and annoy everyone behind me. Everytime it happens I swear I will never do it again but I seem to end up doing.

Under the fuse tray in the front, there should be a small harness with a small red wire and a larger red striped wire. On the small red wire, there is a black in-line fuse. Remove that fuse and the top should go up and down whenever the car is stopped.

Thanks a lot I will give it a try. I figured there had to be a simple way to bypass it.

Did you try it... does it work with the car running

Sorry, I have not had a chance to try it or even look for the wire yet. Hoping to get a chance to play with it this week and will post an update after I do. I will also try to post some pictures of the wires and fuse that I remove.
