Any way to speed up the top closing time???

I feel like i can take in a movie while waiting on the top to close...has any one done anything to these tops to speed them up...would love to cut the closing time down to a 3rd...My other vert is a mini cooper and it will close a whole lot faster so feels like a lifetime to me when closing the top on the beast

Just hook it up to a 48v system. If it can keep the smoke in, i'd imagine it would go significantly faster.

The worst is when you get caught in an unexpected rain storm. Does it go even slower then?
