Glenn:

Does your "top open" idiot light in the dash display (all the way to the right) go out when the top is completely open with the clamshell locked down tight on top of it and also go out when the top is closed and latched?

If it stays on, that will cause your windows to drop by about 4 inches when the top is down.

If that is not your problem, and if you don't have access to a spare convertible top double relay (control module), then you might try to pull out your relay and rap it on a hard surface a couple of times (similar to how people used to tap packs of cigarettes in the old days) and also pull the relay on and off three or four times (sometimes helps to clean off light corrosion on the contacts) and see if that yields any results.

Keep us posted with any new/different symptoms.

Regards, Maurice.
