Default Window Tint Issue

Got my windows tinted and ran into an issue, I don't want to be patient while it dries and wait to drop the top! Today is beautiful and I'd love to go riding with the top down but I'm still waiting.

Also had paint protection installed, added my Mild to Wild, installed my Blend Mount and tried to install my invisicord.

Everything went in great and works wonderfully except for the Invisicord. I played with it for almost an hour and finally gave up. I tried the needle nose pliers and other hints from the board but nothing I do makes a good contact and holds together long enough for me to insure polarity.

The invisicord I got (from a board vendor by the way) has two wires with no markings denoting ground or hot. This makes the entire process more aggrivating than I expected especially when the plugs just wedge into the back of the harness.

Oh well, the blendmount still makes things better even if I still have the cord running to the cigarette lighter.

Drop the top but leave the windows rolled up?

As for the Invisicord, I installed one 2 years ago and it took all of 1 minute and no contact problems EVER

Is there a setting I can change? When I unfasten my top and press the button, both windows come down completely. In my past vehicles they would only come down an inch or two.
