Windows don't go back up when raising or lowering roof

Post by Otemple » Fri Mar 23, 2018 11:49 pm

Hi

Bit of an odd one with my 2006 3.0si, when I open or close the roof the windows dip as expected but when the roof action completes the windows don't go back up! Not a major issue as i can obviously do it manually, but it is annoying :headbang: . Anyone else had the same problem?? Any ideas to resolve?

Many thanks

Needs the windows resetting. Do a quick search on the forum.

It's worth trying a window reset,

Sit in car with key at pos 1 with window power available and doors shut,
Lower the window fully and keep the button down for 5 seconds, immediately raise to the top, release the button and open the door.
Then repeat with the other window.
The windows should now drop slightly when opening the door and rise fully after shutting :thumbsup:

Thats normal. I'm usually too impatient so once the roof has clicked in place I pull on the window switches
