What happens if someone accidently push the down button and the top is still latched? Does the latch have an interlock so the motor doesn't try to drive or will it try to to the top down?

Bump.

i need to get one, but is it worth it and is it difficult to install.

Did you actually read this thread or just the subject??

I just tested it. It looks like there is a safety built in as the top motor started but then stopped. Thats good to know as I wouldn't want the motor to run out and die with the latches attaches. Sounds like Web-Electric was smart enough to build in a safety process.

I never felt like I was desperately pressed for time when dropping the top (7 seconds?) so
I'm not really seeing the value on this either but thanks for the review!

I think the added benefit of some 7 seconds quiker is nice, but the main draw is instead of sitting there holding it till top is down.
I can be getting ready to go, with my seatbelt and such, as the OP stated.
Very cool, thanks for the review.

same premiss as auto windows (which come OEM). Why sit there and hold the button for that long if you could just click it once. Plus, I think I picked up a few RWHP with the install. The car feels quicker.

That would take me about a week.

The install was very easy, although I recommend buying a few high quality butt crimp connectors instead of using the quick-splice pieces that comes in the kit. I'm not a big fan of the quick-splices.



Hey,

I just ordered one because well...you made it seem so cool . But I don't know what you meant here. What do I saw when I go to Lowes? "I'm looking for some butt crimp connectors?" Or something more specific? Thanks!

anything that will connect two wires securely... anything will work... as for me I used crump connectors and then wrapped them in electrical tape for extra security.

I got my one touch module this week and installed it today.  It's very cool.    The install was a piece of cake - I think it took me longer to get the trim piece off than it did to wire it up.  I'm with drbob - it won't take me long to break even on the top up & down times.

Larmo mentioned Web Electric's customer service - I just wanted to second that opinion.  I ordered mine last Sunday, they sent me an email that night and shipped the next day.  Heck, they even put a "Thank You" mint in the bag!

Wit05Vert, glad it worked out well for you as well... I forgot to mention the mint. Web-Electric thinks of everything! Great inexpensive mod.
