Default Sunrider Softtop

Ok - I saw the video on how to "open" the softtop sunroof. It looks like you can pull back just the sunroof and leave the side panels and back window in place - Is this true? And do you have to worry about driving highway speeds in this configuration?

as for the question on the sunrider configuration, no, you do not need to take the side windows out for the sunrider position, only for when you take the top all the way down. now its not required, but it is HIGHLY recomended you either roll the rear window up or take it out when the top is in the sunrider position. this will not only help reduce the wind, and help keep your gas milage in the double didgets, but will prevent damage to the rear window and the seals for the top.

I would take the rear window out or roll it up, otherwise you basicly are dragging a parachute.
Leave the side panels in, otherwise the rear pieces will pop loose above 40
