In most modern convertibles you press the top down/up button, let go of it, and the top will do its thing, maybe beep when it's done.

Anyone know of a modification to accomplish this?

Sounds dangerous to me. I also have a vert and like the fact stuff stops moving when I take my finger off the button. I would bet it would require a bunch of expensive sensors to run the way you suggest. Wouldn't want to crush one of the kids!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/eek.gif[/img]

[/b][/quote]I see a one-touch switch for the windows, but nothing for the top on their site. Got a link?

 

I think he probably just got mixed up with the one-touch rear window module (which is great btw, as is their lightbar switch. I have both on my car)

[/b][/quote]Then copy and paste the text of the link or the text of the page. You might be talking about a different site.

Hate to say it, but you need some glasses. The Webelectric one-touch module is for the verts <span style="color:#FF0000">REAR WINDOWS</span>, not the top. I have it and love it. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] You must be talking about some other web site, cuz webelectrics does not have a seperate 2005 Mustang section.

Now, about the original question... I agree, the needed safety sensors and installation could be a nightmare. Not to mention the liability question for the manufacturer of such a set-up. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

[/b][/quote]Like I said, it's common on other convertibles (every modern one I've been in apart from the Mustang).
Don't think there's a liability issue any greater than the one for auto-up windows.
Regarding an aftermarket kit for the Mustang, you wouldn't need a ton of sensors, something measuring the resistance on the top motor would be enough.

I dunno, I've been in an Audi TT that had a MANUAL top (the power top being like an $800 option). Not every modern car has a mega-advanced top.

[/b][/quote]Didn't say they did. Regardless of what else has it, want to know if it can be done on 05+ Mustang.
