Our little secret?!?!

OK guys so today while i was enjoying some Disney World parks i found out a little trick, which may or may not be news to you guys.

When lowering the top if you hold the switch for three seconds or so after the top is down, the windows roll back up. Kinda nifty for those semi chilly nights where its not warm enough but cold enough that you want to look like a yuppie that can afford a convertible but doesn't want to mess up their newly styled salon hair cut.

If you guys already knew about this then I apologize for the :45 seconds it took you to read this.

Thanks for the scoop. Once mine gets here, it will be one of the first things I try out. Thanks.

I stumbled over this about 2 weeks ago and was pretty happy about it. I wish you could use it to roll the windows up after you have locked the top back down, but you still gotta do that with the two switches (i.e. you use the switch to close the top, you lock the top, then use the top switch in the close direction again and the windows roll up).

Ahhh - nice tip! Better than flipping both window switches at same time.

Found another thing today. Could be a glitch could be legit. Try opening your boot with the top not latched or closed all the way. At night I sometimes pull the top shut but don't latch it in my garage so that I dont get wrinkles lol. The boot wouldn't open until I locked the top shut.
