This is a video going over EVERYTHING about the SmartTop from Mods4Cars. It's a module that lets you open the roof of your car while in motion with just one touch. Either the push of a button or release of the roof latch. Of course I show it off on my 2007 Mazda Miata (MX-5) NC PRHT (power retractable hard top) but the SmartTop is for many cars. They make them for BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, etc. Here's the link www.good-win-r...
If you've got questions about it on the Miata, just comment!

I just installed this on my 09. It's a total game-changer! Ps. The small white clip is easy to remove if you just press down the little "tab" on the backside then pull. That's whats keeping it in place.

Great job with the video! But... For almost $400, I'll pass. In 10+ years driving MX-5 I had to pull into someone's driveway once when it started to rain. I also agree with the guys about the risk of getting the mechanical parts of the roof top damaged when it is operated while driving. Most of the time, practically, I'd start closing or opening the roof when I arrive or leave my house, just going over the curb and in the corner, so, chances are something there will bend sooner or later. It takes 12 seconds... Thanks for the content , though! Much appreciated.

Glad it was a useful video for you Andre! Totally understand that it’s cost prohibitive. Thankfully no issues with my roof since I did the install and now I’d never be able to go back. It’s kind of like heated seats or in car navigation, if you’ve never had it, you won’t miss it! Glad you’re enjoying your MX-5. Which color is your NC? -Ben

Bought a similar device from a company called (I think) MX 5 Things fitment same as described here (easy) and functional the same the big difference is, here in the UK Smart Top costs about £400, the unit I bought was much cheaper. OK I had to order from the USA but delivery was prompt and didn’t add much cost. Definitely agree the functionality makes the car so much better, but the Mazda operation is similar to many similar cars which I think is due to legislation.

Great video. Detailed and to the point. So it sounds like this is a $400. mod. Like the convenience but the price is high. I've had to pull over 2 times and 1 time I did it at a long light when it started to rain which happens a lot in the panhandle of Florida. Thanks for the practical detailed video.
@shouldigetit
@shouldigetit 2 года назад
Glad you got something useful out of it Dino. I agree the price is high but when you think about it over the course if the years using it, it's not so bad. Once you install it, it feels like the car should've come with it. Love backing out of my spot with the roof going down at the same time.
@Music-Tech-Life
@Music-Tech-Life 2 года назад
I still have to wonder if it does any harm while your moving, like eventually throwing it off track alignment or balance. I know you shouldn't go over 30 MPH but still. It is a useful mod though and it makes life easier. Thanks for the reply.
@shouldigetit
@shouldigetit 2 года назад
@@Music-Tech-Life I had the same worries and I think it would do harm IF you hit rough road, a bump, speed bump, pothole, etc while moving. I make sure to only use it on flat ground in areas I know (my gym parking lot, home, work, etc.) Sometimes on the freeway if traffic is stopped here in Los Angeles. -Ben

Hi, just bought this module for my NC1. I chose the same settings as you showed in the video, yet my car refuses to onetouch open/close the roof. If I choose the second setting for function 2, I still need to keep pressing the button x3 for full roof operation. If I choose the third setting for function 2 (the one you said you use), the first part of the roof opening happens as soon as I open the latch, however for the second and third part I still need to keep the roof operation button pressed. Any ideas on how to fix this?
@shouldigetit
@shouldigetit 2 года назад
Hey Dieter, is your button sticky at all? Make sure the module is plugged all the way in. I would unplug and plug the module back in, make sure all connections are good. If that doesn't work email Mods4Cars from their website. Sounds like a signal is getting lost somewhere. Keep me updated!

You can not for the Miata but for many cars that SmartMod makes the controller for you can open it with your key like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--RFdIRGY1Bs.html
