The only times I 'move' with my car when putting the top up or down is when I'm parking my car at my home. Since I have to park my car in an incline on front of the garage door, I have to back up into it after having driven past the said incline.

So all I do is once I'm ready, I just put the vehicle on reverse, begin parking it and at the same time I keep the button pressed for the roof to go back up.

Voila, perfect timing. I finish parking the car, placing the gears on P mode and pulling the handbrake by the time the windows come up again [;)]

Any other time, I open and close the roof while I'm completely stationary.
