You just lightly push up the top at the latch (it will stay half open) and then push the bar for the final lift and lock. Much less wear and tear on you and the bar. The Skylight Guy sells the Jack Bombay kit I have, and It's one of the nicest mods I've made. The first few times I pulled the top down, I had to get used to NOT needing to rest it on my head, while I pulled the canvas in from the sides...funny. If anything, the stowing the top requires some effort, which is a nice "problem" to have. Jack Bombay also can be accessed directlly on Samba. bob |
