WHen i first got my car, when I would put down the soft top, both the driver and passenger windows would roll down as the top was coming down...

now for some reason, the driver window doesnt move when im dropping the top, and just stays up... I have to put down the driver side window after the top is down..

any ideas whats going on???

There is a TSB on this. The driverside window regulator fails and needs to be replaced. I had it replaced three times. They have updated this part atleast three times that I know about. if you are under warrenty, they will replace it at no cost. If you are not, it is the service manager's call to replace it for good will, or not. Take it to the dealer and see what they have to say about it.

Damn it Xviper, looks like you'd saved the day again bud. Thought I was the only one with that problem, gotta go out and try that reset thing on the S. Kinna funny cuz the sales person that I'd bought my S from, which was in the show room floor told me that it's a safety device that Honda had installed in the driver's window so it won't completely go down when the top is lowered. Not only that but the same sales person said "It only took me like 10 seconds to drive 1 mile in that car", 1 mile in 10 seconds? Haha... Go figure...

That would be 360 MPH. That's one really FAST S2000. Car salesmen! Gotta marvel at the kind of BS they use to sell a car.

ps. That reset procedure may only work for a short time. Ultimately, most people will need a new window regulator. An alternative, if you have no warranty left, is to install an "Autoloc" device (about 40 bucks) on the driver's side window. This will fix the problem permanently and will also give you auto UP as well. I did this on mine and I love the dual "auto" feature. It can also be done to the passenger side window with another unit.

i think i have to go in for that recall too, my windows only go down halfway when lowering the top, and don't go up at all when putting it back up.

So, you're saying that your window is down all the time? This is odd. The UP/DOWN feature of the window has never been reported as not working*. It's the "AUTO" down that fails. Unless you mean they don't go UP when putting the top UP. It's not supposed to do this. The windows are supposed to go DOWN (if up already) when you put the top up, just like when you put the top down.

*This usually happens when the window "lock" button has been accidentally pushed.

my drivers side window only goes halfway down if i use the auto down or lower the top. i need to press it again for it to fully go down...will the reset fix this also? sorry i'd try it but my car is stored away right now.

ok XViper, where did you get your autoloc? I tried a quick search and nothing relevant jumped out. I like the auto up idea too!

thanks.
