I think there has been a couple of TSB's about the top but this one is new to me. I would still go after them.
Just remember sometimes these things go bad and instead of a wrinkle the new top might leak/not fit well and there will be a big scratch on your decklid.
Proceed with caution.

Well, I ordered my 1 touch top module on Sunday and it arrived today. QUICK SHIPPING!

Directions look pretty easy, just splicing some wires. Now what I'm doing this weekend!

You'll love the one touch top button. I hit mine and then by the time I've taken down the windshield sun screen and put on my seat belt I'm ready to go.

Has anyone had any experience with a sitaution like this and was it able to be corrected.

I have replaced a convertible top myself before. If the wrinkle is still there and not improving, bring it back. The upholsterer needs to make an adjustment.

Yes! The directions are pretty good and with the newer module, it's only a few wires you need to deal with!

I ordered and received my one-touch top module. I hope to install tomorrow once this 34 and rain weather pattern leaves NC. FWIW, Valerie was the name on the order, wife's name FTW.

I have this upgrade. My first module was bad -- wouldn't raise -- service from WebElectric was super. He spent 45 minutes on the phone troubleshooting -- send me a new one and a pre-paid mailer to send back the old one for a QC determination. All are tested. I also installed sequentials. If you have Shaker 1000 -- the plug and play sequentials are more difficult -- cause you have to remove the subs or have very small hands.

The top module was pretty straightforward -- but you need a lot of light and care -- the wire harness is a bit close on some of the colors.

This is a top notch fun upgrade that works great.

Has anyone done this with the traction control modification? The One-touch module cuts the red/black wire and the T/C modification needs that wire to connect to. What happens to the power to/from radio, since the wire is cut? Any thoughts?
