I first tried to put the top up at 50-60 mph after someone on the list

posted that they had tried it. I was surprised how easy it was.  Of

course you should try it in a straight away and not while going around

corners although I might give that a try.  I'm about 6'1" with a 30

inch arm which helps.  It just takes a little practice.  I've never

tried it with a Miata with the bar behind the seats.  I would imagine

that it might interfere with easily grabing the top although it might

give you a pivit to support your arm to make pulling up the top

somewhat easier.  Anybody try putting the top up with the rear bar? 

Does it make it easier or more difficult?
