Maybe of interest to others is a modification allowing the operation of the roof without the handbrake engaged and whilst moving. Using this module:
Audi 80 BMW E36 SL SLK Cabrio 50Km/h Verdeck -modul | eBay
Wired using the module's yellow & blue wires to Pin 6 of the roof ECU. Which is the handbrake signal input.
The module earths the input but also stops dash warning lights for both handbrake & roof. Which when experimenting previously have stopped the gearbox operating normally.
The module also has the ability to limit the speed of roof operation when at 30mph. I haven't used this and have tested upto 40mph without issue. Other than acting as an air scoop when disengaging at the front the roof operates normally. I don't envisage using this feature at such speeds and most likely only when changing weather causes concern.
Obviously, this information is provided with the disclaimer that should you modify your roof you do so at your own risk. To confirm, this is for a 2004 4200 Spyder. I would advise checking your own roof ECU inputs to be certain of compatibility.
