I`ve got a question about the top operation. When I am raising or lowering the top and I stop about 1 third of the way up the top slides down on its own, it holds its position with the engine running, but when I shut her down the top goes too. I sometimes do this at car shows for effect. If I raise it past that mark it stays just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jeff /
The roof is hydraulic, so when you turn the power off to the vehicle, the roof will apply pressure to the main chamber and allow it to slowly lower into the stowage compartment.
Now if you want to feel dangerous, make a nice chromed bar, with rubber pads on either end of it, that is the correct length to hold the roof in place where you want it, so that when you turn the power off, you start to open the roof, so that it is 1/8th open or so. Kill the power and then with two people (my suggestion to do so) manually lower the hood and place it onto the new crafted bar, and there you go. It will stay in place, and almost not even be noticeable if you make it lower than the cowl of the rear seats.

Hi All,
I'm a neebie 2004 Red SSR owner.....just added a windsuppressor, it definately makes a difference concerning wind blowback. My question is, can the top be raised and lowered with the suppressor in place? I don't want to brake anything while attempting to raise top.........

Hey OP,

Thanks, I did copy it from an OEM, but had it made by someone who is no longer in business unfortunately. He also designed and built a non-OEM style, but alas no more...
