R52 Top operation on the move ?

Top operation on the move ?
I apologize if there's a thread, I could not find it by searching.
Is there a hack to disable the car blocking top operations when in movement ? I'm not planning to use the top as an emergency airbrake at 80,but if I'm in traffic doing 3 mph I think it will be safe to open or close (or finish the opening or closing)... any such hack ?

Not that I know of, I could take the Official MINI Safety stance and say ... if it was safe to operate the top at 3 or 4 mph they would have made to top operate at 3 or 4 mph.
But as it is I don't know why the decision was made to make it the way it is... I'm just happy it is automatic and not a manual open and close. Personally I too would like to be able to open or close it if I was creeping up to a red light of stuck in crawling traffic.
Motor on!

Yes, you can do it at very low speeds. Think it was < 2.48 mph. And they tell you not to open the sunroof part above 75 mph. You can put the back side window down a hair , with the top slid back in sunroof postilion to help with the wind buffeting with the top up and in sunroof position.
