Do coupes have window indexing? If so be mindful that the glass will catch on the weather striping, and may not seat right until power is restored and the window moved down and up.

With the engine running and the window down, close the car door. Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done. Don't forget the other window.

Got it done. New battery installed. That leads me to anothewr question.
The voltage gauge was showing 14.4 / 14.5 all the way home with the new battery. Is this what the alternator is putting out, or is it the volts in the battery. Trying to figure what this gauge would show if I had an alternator issue.

That is correct. My manual was also locked in the car.

The alternator is working then?
Also, the windows seem to be working. They drop down slightly when I open the door, then go back up when the door is closed. I thought I would have to reset that after having the battery out.
