Programming the speed at which the roof can be operated?

Good point to test though - if you start the process stationary or moving very slowly, then hoon off halfway through, will it stop the roof movement ? If it does then that could be counter-productive with increasing air resistance against a half raised hood. Hmmm. Worth a test in a quiet car park methinks.

It does actually stop!

I've done this before! Its literally like a parachute!

Force, F = A x P x Cd

A = The projected area of the item
P , Wind pressure (Psf), = .00256 x V^2 (V= wind speed in Mph)
Cd , Drag coefficient, = 2.0 for flat plates.

Ok, shan't be testing that then. Intrigued though - did you end up looking like a plonked on the high street ? :lol:

Actually happened while it started to rain and i stopped, pressed the roof up, sped off... Roof stopped mid way, and i got wet and looked like a plonka!
