never know, it could be that something was just a little off when it was first indexed. now, if you've done it correctly and it still leaks, then I guess it's time for you to look more carefully at exactly where it's leaking. And if you can, determine why it's leaking.
Such as, there's a space in between the rubber and the window, the window doesn't seem to go up all the way, the door doesn't close tight enough to the frame, etc.
Good luck with it.

I would suggest taking the targa off, making sure you had it in correctly, inspect the rubber seal around the windows and targas edge, put the targa back on correctly, re index, and then see. I have not had any trouble at all on my 06

Hey guys still trying to fix leak. Can you guys tell me if this is the right way to index your windows??(Very simple to take car of. Get in your car, close the door, and start it. Lower the window all the way down and continue to hold the down button for 5 seconds after the window is already down. Next, raise the window all the way up and hold the button for 5 seconds after the window has stopped. After 5 seconds, let go and then push and hold the button for the up position for another 5 seconds and the indexing is reset.) Do you hear or get a notice that you have done the indexing right?? thanks
thanks

my convertible didn't leak in florida downpours. not a drop, and the rain was so bad I had to pull over and wait it out as I watch 3 cars smack into each other.
BTW, I personally would try the window indexing after disconnecting the battery. That way you know it definately did something.
