Awesome, I had no idea that 2003 and up you could operate the top while moving, that actually probably changes my decision to get the Smart Top (to not getting it as that is the major factor - one touch is nice but not as needed IMO).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

When I put the top down or up on my 04 cab the windows drop all the way and then don�t go back up when the top is done opening or closing. On my 986 they only drop a small amount then return to where they were. Is this normal?
Keep the button pushed down for a few more seconds, there is a delay in the windows going up. I believe it is to allow you to lift up on the button, as you may be doing, if you do not want the windows closed.
Are we talking key in door or button on dash?
My 04 C4S does the following.
Key in door : Opening - All windows go completely down. Then top opens. Windows do NOT go back up ever. You must close windows inside the car. Closing - same but reverse. Again, windows will NOT go back up.
Car running using button : Opening - All windows go completely down. Then top opens. Windows will go back up. Closing - same but reverse. Windows will go up.
Hope that helps.
Thanks to you both. I was talking button, and yes I wasn�t holding it long enough. Just enough for the light to go off but when I hold it longer the windows do go back up. Different than the Boxster but good to know that�s the normal behavior. Thanks!
The cabs used to have to be stopped with ebrake on up to 2002. There was an aftermarket module you could buy to bypass this and put op up or down so long you were moving under 30 mph. Then Porsche integrated this feature starting in 2003.
Awesome, I had no idea that 2003 and up you could operate the top while moving, that actually probably changes my decision to get the Smart Top (to not getting it as that is the major factor - one touch is nice but not as needed IMO). Also from the manual, the rear windows do not operate when the top is down....
