I got a 12-14 inch overnight snow in New England, raked off twice, had spotty 2 or 3 inches of twice-raked heavyish snow slush when I took out the support posts(grunt)... it was a surprise how heavy that thing was... I controlled the fall, but would have had no chance at relifting... gotta believe I would have damaged the mechanism in an attempt to relift. Manual top.
Yewwwww better believe there is more weight up there than ya' think... and them electric tops are reportedly pesky when they misbehave.
