hi there, I still getting to know my 2002 seal grey cab, I love it. One question, right now the top will only lower if i am stopped and the parking break is on, is this normal?

Yes, that is normal.

There are companies that make a product that will let you raise or lower the top at low speeds.

I think the SmartTOP people are still giving Renntech.org members $10 off. SmartTOP Special Offer

Hello,

Yes, that is correct. From the factory, you can open the top with the key in door (hold it to the unlock position), with the key in the ignition and the engine off, or with the engine running and the parking brake on.

There are aftermarket kits that allow you to open / close the top at up to 30 mph, but I have no experience with them.

Hmm, don't really know if i would want to open the top while moving.

I cannot believe this car, I am stunned, it is engineering porn.

Hi,

Get yourself the Smarttop, it's the best acessory you'll ever buy for your Cab.

It lets you open and close the top while moving at slow speeds, and also gives you "one-touch" up and down operation. There's no need for the handbrake and the one touch operation works for about 10 seconds after you stop, so you can pull up at the lights, hit the down button once, and before the light turns green, you've got the top down (or up if you hit the up button!).

It also lets you put the rear quarter windows up with the top down, which you can't normally do on the early model cars.

It also still allows the factory operation with the key in the door.

Takes about 10 minutes to install.

I thoroughly recommend it! Dont wait buy one today if you're a roof down fiend like me!

(PS I dont' work for these guys, just a very satisfied customer).

Cheers
