Default A cure for the driverside window rolldown problem, when putting top down.

I have done this about 100 times and 99 out of 100 times it worked.

1. Put the key in the ignition
2. Unlatch the tops
3. Start the car
4. Wait for about 2 secs
5. Push and hold the roof button back
6. The driverside window will roll all the way down

I think the problem was the motor does not have enough juice with the key in the ignition to roll the window completely down, it needs to have the car started too.

Thanks Smu2000. I'll have to try that. I always drop the top without the engine turned on. It seems logical that it may not have enough power to lower the top AND the door windows.

Nah, has nothing to do with power. I always start my car first and I think the auto down has worked maybe a dozen times out of probably a hundred.

I have this problem, but I thought it was related to the "one-touch down" problem.

I never had any problem with the driver window rolling down when I put the top down until the one-touch feature started not working.

from what i remember long ago, honda doesn't want you to start the car before you put the top down.
something to save them from any liability, but they've gotta have reasons for it.
