    Hey Guys

    Long Story Short...

    With the top up, the windows work exactly as they should. Up, Down, AUTO, etc...
    but when I put the top down (top works exactley as it should) the windows stay in whatever position I had them in previous to putting the top down. Once the top is up, the windows work normally again...

    What should I be looking for? Could it be a sensor or something??
    Or should I book her into the shop and have them look at her??

    Other then that, car is a beast... running stronger and stronger everytime I drive her.

    Heres to hoping its a quick fix due to the collective genius of this forum

    Hit me up guys
    And thanks in advance for the help and info

    Put your finger in the receptacle on the top of the driver's side windshield and depress the sensor while you roll up the windows.

    It could be that the seats do not travel the full amount. Do the seats work with the top down. Both of these are locked when the top is in the process of going up and down.

    Look where the pin for the top fits into the drivers side bracket inside you will see a tiny switch sounds like yours is faulty and deactivating your windows instead of just lowering them a bit, depress the switch or just override it completely by taking the switch apart and connecting the wires together.

    The windows lower themselves normally when I put the top down, but they dont go back up afterward.
    So it seems like you could be correct in your dianosis Nightlife.

    I will let you know how it turns out

    Thanks so much for the help.
