Power Windows ?
The windows in my 08 convertible stopped going back up after closing the doors. They still go down slightly but don't close like they did.
Anyone have this issue? Any suggestions/
Thanks,

Turn the car on
Hold the button to lower the window, then hold it to raise the window. Once it's up, Hold the button in the up position for about 3-5 seconds.
That should fix it.
==========================
From the 08 manual.
Power Window Initialize
After a power reconnect such as battery replacement,
the window index-up feature will not function until
the system is initialized.
Once power is restored:
1. Close the door.
2. Raise the window and hold the switch up for three
seconds after the window is closed.
3. Release the switch, then hold the switch up again
for three seconds and release.

The info to re-index your windows is in the Owners Manual. The following is from my 2008 manual:
Window Indexing
This feature automatically lowers the window a small
amount when the door is opened. When the door
is closed, the window will raise to its full up position. If
either window does not index properly, it could be due to
loss of power. Before returning to your dealer/retailer
for service, perform the power window initialize
procedure.

Thanks everyone.
the reset fixed it.
I guess i need to read the book every now and then.
no new battery but the day they didn't work it was sluggish starting.
something may be draining it. possible the pal i installed.
i reallly need some good weather to drive it more often.
way too much rain lately, but the weekend looks good
