Hardtop Detection

Hardtop Detection
Hardtop detection prevents the soft-top being raised when the hardtop is fitted.
When a hardtop is fitted, the righthand hardtop locating socket contact is used to detect the presence of the hardtop. The hardtops rear window heater is supplied with power via the left hand hardtop locating socket contacts (right and left).
