Won't the soft top get ripped off by the airflow if you open it while driving??

Hi yes if you are not sensible ,and do it at say 10mph thats ok i did mind on my peugeot 306 series 3 at 15 mph with no problems and not when it was windy, just common sence, i had a switch next to my drivers door so only i could switch it on then release the roof, i know from 2003+ model theres is a module you can buy from 3 companys..
