Here's video footage from our resident lucky man Excelsior at the Solstice Forum.

The video shows how to raise and lower the roof through the entire process. Very informative for those who didn't know.

God no, those things weigh a TON!

Well unfortunately [A] it would weigh a good bit more would be far more complex meaning [B.1] more expensive [B.2] take up even MORE trunk space [C] the AFBTSs would take an insanely complex system to work automaticly.

Being the cheapest Roadsters in production you're not going to see an automatic roof on this car.

Very simple to operate, much easier and quicker than I thought. Good job, Pontiac.

PS. Thank you, Brentil for the tip on how to play the video.

I like how the top looks, and it doesnt look to hard to put the top down, but I really dont like the idea that to put the top up, you have to go to the other side of the car to finish it. couldnt they make the 2 "wings" work as one??

Due to having to anchor both sides down into a device you have to push them into, the most reliable design is one where you put each one down individually. Because one large system would add complexity which adds to chance of failure, space required, development time, cost, etc.

I guess we all have to remember that it isn't an $40-$80K car. Not that we should accept crap but it is a small inexpensive roadster. And thats what we want!?
