Try doing the Window Reset procedure before anything else, it resets the window memory position sensing logic.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, quick question when you activate the roof the side windows lower before retracting the roof, my question is once the roof is fully retracted should the windows be able to be returned to the fully up position, mine will not raise above the point they were lowered to to retract the roof is this correct? if not do i need to do anything so they will return to fully up Thanks

POST 2Original post

They do on my 718 Boxster. What car have you got?

POST 3Original post

All 3 of the Boxster's I have owned windows return to the fully up position after lowering roof

POST 5Original post

You have a problem. The windows should go back up to fully 'up' as soon as the roof is fully opened and the motor shuts off. Time for a check by your local dealer or Indy. Could be as simple as a micro-switch not working and sending a signal to the ECU to raise the windows.

Try doing the Window Reset procedure before anything else, it resets the window memory position sensing logic. Check your manual for the exact procedure, but it is along the lines of... One window at a time. Ignition on, lower the window fully by holding the switch down, but not through the One Touch detent. Now raise the window all the way by holding the switch up, again not through the detent. Ignition off. Repeat for other window.
