The only thing I don't get is after it sets the top down and the front of the top is tucked in, and the machine pulls away, how does the back of the top drop down so slow into place? is there some kind of motorized lever built into the frame of the roof where it meets the top?

geez how many steroids is that bloke on :P

your right in what you said, more comanly known as a 'tilter unit'
this is my Del Sol SiR with a piccy of the unit just about
Image

heres how it works.....

1- ensure the rear window is up, a saftey measure from honda so that you cant stick your arm out and get it stuck, not that it;d be that easy tbh

2- undo the 2 latches either side of the roof pictured

3- press the roof button on the dash on the right hand side of the dial cluster the boot then raises to the highest position

4- the roof itself then tilts on the tilter motor then the car beeps,

5- the rods come from the boot and latch into the roof

6- you then turn the handle on the roof (pictured above in the center at the rear of the roof) from closed to open this free's the roof from the front of the car

7- the roof then slides back into the boot and the boot lowers stopping twice on the way down again another saftey measure

and voila the birds flying above now have a target :fucker: :P

hope that clears it up a little 8)
