You must have lots slower stop lights up there....the tops I`ve seen dont go up or down that fast....I`d like to see someone drive away with it half way up or down! lol I get out ,pull it down (even pull the boot off...riiip) faster manually than any power top....I`ve practiced alot in quick rain showers! On my old Fiat I had in 67 (also manual) I would slow down , do it while driving...until ONE DAY, when I had too much speed , almost yanked my arms off! lol
Ya gota time it right Bjorn. I think your the only person besides my older sister who will admit they owned a Fiat. Her 128 rusted away quickly living in Rochester, NY.
time is time...lol...mine goes down so much faster than my friends, while they are holding the button.....
I had mine in Stockholm, Sweden 2 winters, and we had salt also, but the car was only 1 yr old when I got it and I kept it very clean....no rust when I sold it 3 yrs old.
