This switch works
like your power windows. A quick press
starts the top in motion, a press of 200ms or longer only moves the top while
the button is being pressed. Make sure
you use a “quick press”.
·
Your emergency
brake will need to be lifted enough to get the “brake” light on the dash to
illuminate. This is a factory default
safety mechanism we encourage you not to disable.
