1958/9 Power Top Relay Amp Rating
The power top wiring diagram I have shows a circuit breaker for the system, and two 30 amp fuses downstream for the relays.
Does anyone know the value for the main circuit breaker?
I have a 30 amp installed, but it opens at about 3/4 running the top up/down. Since the solenoids have 30 amp fuses, I assume the main breaker for the motor and solenoids must be a higher value?

I'm also curious about the two "relays". I know of the deck lid and trunk lid safety cut out switches and the two micro limit switches (the one by the passenger door and the one in the trunk on the driver side), I'm not aware of any relays however. Where are they?

I'm not an expert on the power top but I believe that the main CB, the one mounted on the firewall above the heater air intake is a 40A. Others may chime in.

I know of one breaker, the main one, and two fuses, shown in the wiring diagram.
