Default C5 Convertible Window Prob

My 1998 convertible windows won't drop the needed 1/4" to clear the top when doors open. They do automatically drop when the yellow button, to open 'top storage' cover, is pressed. What is the problem? Please advise, thank you!

Howdy and thanks. The top is in the way of the windows and won't close without damaging the top. HELP. Do you have any solution for my problem?

Another possibility is to purchase a Window Valet and then close the door with the windows down and then use the key FOB to put the windows up. The Window Valet allows the OEM FOB to open and close the Windows remotely.

I have a Window Valet and love it when popping to top for a ride.
