Default What is the proper top-down behavior?

I don't remember this happening on my first car, but now I don't remember what the correct sequence of events is when you put down the top.

I unlock the latches and pull the ROOF switch. My driver's side window cracks a bit (like an inch) while the passenger window drops the whole way into the door. The top retracts normally. Should both windows crack only a little bit, or both retract all the way, or is this normal behavior for a 2001?

What should happen when you put the top up?

i think it should be the same for all years and your windows should go completely down

Both windows are supposed to go down. Something is malfunctioning. After you put the top up, you have to manually close the windows.

Check the power window relay, and the soft top control unit.

Thanks for the replies! I'll look into it (although it isn't a big hassle, just kind of annoying).

Just hope the regulator didn't go out. Good luck...

Also, better check the window pressure actuator fluid reservoir. You may need to add fluid.
