Default Problem when I raise/lower my top?

Here's the scenario. Every since I've had my S, i've noticed sometimes, not everytime, but sometimes when my windows are still both up all the way, and I go to lower the top, or raise the top, my passenger side window will always lower completely all the way, but my drivers side will only lower a few inches.. if i release the soft top button, and pull it again, it'll go down some more and then stops? Then other times, they both go down all the way normally when I raise or lower the top

Just wondering what could possibly be causing this?? Seems strange to me that is only happens sometimes.

This is quite common with older S2000s. Your window regulator is gonzo. Look in the FAQs at the top of UTH to see how you might temporarily fix this, but ultimately, you will need a new window regulator or an aftermarket auto-up/down module. The latter is the cheapest ($50.00) if you're paying for this fix.

Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated.

I just recently started having this problem on MY02.. I think that is what I'll use my gift card for -- a new window regulator.. If you're wondering, I started a post a bit earlier about what to get from Honda with a $100 gift card that I got from Honda.
thanks
sorry to jump all over your thread

Go here to see how to wire it into an S2000. There's a little trick to doing this with our cars.
