Soft top on the FC RX-7 I drove last year was an absolute pain in the hole, maybe even more so than that looking at it. Unlatch, open both doors/drop windows, put partly back, unclip centre panel, move/tilt seats forward fold centre panel, put fully back, return seats, attach tonneau, close doors...
This makes the GTS look like child's play and then just hoping you don't bump it into stuff. I have seen some people convert it into manual operation but that must be even more of a pain to use. I do recall the power top operation kind of deflates in a rather uninviting manner too..
