Checked relay, in tight, still preventing windows from raising, relay out - windows work fine. Is there any other source that might provide an answer, this is driving me crazy.

Try messing with the windows with the top in all of its orientations (up&clamped, unclamped, down). See if that changes anything.

will try it. Just by chance does anyone happen to know the pin identification for the relay, figure I could test it to ensure it's good.

I've just glanced at this thread so far without taking time for the details. If you don't get it sorted out today, I'll have some time tomorrow to look through the factory service manual and see if I can find a troubleshooting sequence to help isolate the problem.

There is troubleshooting for the top relay in the manual, but I haven't found anything similar for the window. Since removing the relay makes the windows work, give this a try. I found a copy of the info from the manual posted on Justanswer . com

Here's the link: https://www.justanswer.com/porsche/3vq2d-own-2004-boxster-s-the-top-will-not-go-down-when.html

It shows the pin assignments for the relay carrier and 11 steps to check operation with a multimeter.
