Window doesn't drop

If your window doesn't stay down while the door is open, your door lock mechanism micro switch and/or cam in this mechanism is bad and needs to be replaced. I hope this helps and please confirm any part numbers before ordering as I believe the door lock mechanism can change based on type of security system your car has, etc.

What's the diagnosis if the (driver's side) window doesn't move when you pull either the outside or inside handle, but you can hear something working like it's trying to, and the auto up/down works perfectly when you operate the convertible top.

When I give a short pull (maybe 1/2 inch) on either the inside or outside handle, I can hear -- maybe even feel -- something move, and then hear/feel it move back when I let the handle back in. However, the window glass doesn't move at all.

As it is right now, I just always have to push down slightly on the top of the window before I close the door.
