When raising or lowering the roof I have problem with the windows, they seems to raise, and then drop back down, under power not by themselves.  The only way around it seems to be using the window switch to override the roof raising sequence.  Does anyone have an idea what it could be, I seem to recall a similar problem many years ago, but can't remember what the fault was !
Always someone cleverer than yourself...

It could be that they just need resetting , as I think they are supposed to lower slightly when a door is opened so that it clears the edge of the soft top, but I may be wrong.

My drivers front window sometimes does that. Not looked into why yet but when it does happen, ive noticed that window closes a few seconds before the rest.

little bit of resistance in the window slider mech ? used to have a corsa that had window retract if it caught something in the upward movement - this caused no end if issues if the runner was gummed up - also in the corsa if the window frame was a bit out it did the same thing....
