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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2003's top operates normally going down: lowers all windows and retracts fully. But going up, it does not close the windows and the top warning light on the dash stays on. If I hold it down it will blink but stays on. The top appears to fully retract and close with the front latch working properly. Any ideas?

Mine needed to be recalibrated. Work great after the service. About a hours time.
