Boxster windows today, for the first time, won't go all the way up. They stop going up at the point where they drop down to put top down. I cycled the roof up and down to see if that corrected anything and it did not. Then randomly, while driving around, the drivers window would go down on its own, then, the passenger would as well. I'm assuming its a switch somewhere for the convertible top keeping them from going all the way up. Any other ideas? Assuming a switch where nd or what one should I look at first?

Thanks

if I am reading this correctly
1) the windows drops and stop at the "top up/down" position (~3 inches from full up)
2) using the window switch, the window will not go any higher (but can be lowered further?)
3) with the windows at this position, while driving, the windows go further down on it's own(pass 3 inch point)
4) the driver's side moves down first followed by the passenger side


next time this happens, give this a try;
be safe and stop the car,
don't touch the window button,
don't pull the e-brake,
unlock the top release mechanism
and with your finger, push the small button in the top locking mechanism.

if the windows goes up, then the micro switch needs to be replaced.
