Ok, officially I’m converted!!!

I used BenzNija and besides doing every single thing I asked for, I’ve made a friend. He is the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. I was scared at first but tbh, he was honest, as the day is long. He is a genius with these cars!!! He writes code like he works for the head of intelligence. Insane that’s all I can say!!! Trust me, the best money I’ve ever spent. I’ll never have to go to the dealer unless I need actual work done. Example. On my CL, Mercedes said I needed to replace my TPM sensors but they were all new. My light kept popping up on the dash. All measured exactly the same, I bought an OBD code reader, all said 100% battery life but had a code, implausible reading. They wanted to replace the entire system. He found that the TPMS had not been set for high and low pressures. The dealership had coded it out when they updated my entire system last year. I stopped driving the car because it drove me nuts. Light is off and everything works.

The flip-up windshield is key. Lets the breeze in during summer and seals out the cold in winter. I paired it with a basic roof and half-doors. Easy to install and perfect for both work and play without feeling boxed in. They've held up great.

That's the beauty of that setup. The flip-up windshield lets you get that open-air feeling without taking the whole roof off. When it's hot, you just crack the top of the windshield open for a breeze right over your head. For work, the basic roof and half-doors keep you protected from the weather and debris, but it's still easy to get in and out. It's a simple, tough combo that doesn't overcomplicate things.

Do you have a picture?
In my mind, I am forming an image of my convertible top opening partially, then locking in place, to produce the effects you outline.
Is that what you are describing?
