Default Window Valet Problem

I have a convertible and when I close the windows using the window valet method (press lock 3 times), the windows go up then down again, and it does this for 4-5 tries and finally it stays up. Why doesn't it just work the first time? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No big deal. Just recalibrate the window function. Be sure you always have the top fully latched before you recalibrate or put the windows up.

If the windows are dirty they will cause enough friction to reverse the closing action.

Just recalibrate the window pressure.
