    Hi guys,

    I have a 2016 cali t HS, and I am having a window issue and I want to know if anyone else has experienced it or how to fix it.

    Many times when I come back to my car, I find the windows are open by approximately 25% of the total window height.

    Initially I thought I was pressing the window button when getting my wallet when I exited the car but now I am being certain to completely close the windows before I leave. The windows are intermittently open when I come back to the car. If I close them they close completely and seal. Once I close the door they seal.

    Has anyone had this issue? What should I do about it?

    Thanks

    Weird I have one as well, 2017, and nothing like that has happened. I do howeve have an annoying squeaking type sound coming from behind my left ear. I think it's the door or pillars rubbing because it only happens over bumpy surfaces.

    ummmmmm sorry for the stupid question...

    it turns out that if you hold down the unlock door it rolls down the windows.

    Tom- it is pretty much the most amazing car I have ever owned. Especially after the HS upgrade. To me the Cali T HS is worth every penny. Its beautiful. It sounds amazing. It handles great. After owning it for a few months, I am beginning to wonder if all of the people that rip on it, have actually driven it.

    I'm so glad to hear that. Perhaps, but if people on the internet only commented on things that they had direct knowledge of, it'd probably occupy about 5 Mb of space! Keep enjoying your car.

    Haha good point Tom. Yes it's one amazing ride. It's almost a 488 with the totally flexibility of everyday use.

    Arguably (if you're biased like me!) one of the greatest V8 Ferrari - useable every day, sporty when you want it to be, coupe to convertible in 13 seconds, first use of DT by Ferrari plus a few other technical firsts for F, apparently don't have to play dealer games to get one, 2 of 3 owners are new to the marque, etc. And, as my wife says, they've made so many of the dang things you can drive it with impunity and not give a rat's behind about mileage, future value, etc.! ;)

    I also suspect that if they had not used a hallowed name from the past like California and called it the Portofino to start with, a lot fewer purists would have gotten their panties in a knot.

    Oops. Good catch. DCT!

    Per Wiki, other technical first for the Cali line...

    The California represents a number of firsts for Ferrari:
    The first front engined Ferrari with a V8
    The first to feature a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission
    The first with a folding metal roof
    The first with multi-link rear suspension
    The first with direct petrol injection

    The T was also the first turbo since the F40 IIRC...T
