    When your top is down does your rear window roll all the way up? Mine seems to have two positions that it stops in but does not roll all the way up.

    It’s by design, I think due to air flow the window going up all the way would cause too much air to reach the cabin.
    Unlike Lambo Spyders Ferrari engineers really cares about top down experience being as quiet and free of wind noise as possible!

    Having the rear window (the BackLite rear screen as referred to in the manual) up reduces the wind in the cabin. Having it in the down position increases it. That's how I interpret this diagram.
