A week ago when it was very cold but sunny I decided to put the roof down for the short run home
Windows went down, but as the rear screen lifted above the roof I got a 'red window' warning on the dash
I put the roof back up and made my way home
I'd put a new battery in a few days earlier so went through the window reset procedure gain
Tried it again and the same happened.
I kept the button pressed and the roof operation completed
Putting the roof back up again more alarms and I noticed the boot lid closure was very jerky
Long story short; kept trying it and noticed the alarms were getting less and then only coming on when putting the roof up
Operation was noticeably smoother as well
Anyway after about 6 cycles the roof operated normally without any alarms
I've tried it every day since with thankfully no problems
Has anyone else experienced this?
Not sure if it's a sensor having a hissy fit, the cold weather (coupled with the fact the roof hasn't been down for a while - yes I know, sorry )
OR a day earlier I'd hit a monster pot hole. I was only traveling at about 10-15 mph as I slowed for traffic lights. Filled with water and in the dark just thought it was a puddle
I was wondering if the jolt could have moved a sensor or the alignment, but baffled how it would correct itself
Your thoughts would be appreciated (getting the tracking checked this week)

Weird roof issue
When this happened to my car it was a lose plug and socket on the right boot lift cylinder.
