Notice the position of windows when operating top
Has anyone noticed the position of the windows changes when lowering the top. I have noticed sometimes when lowering the top the front side windows only lower slightly, other times the same windows lower about half way down while lowering the top. I think the windows seem to lower more when the car is on a slope with the front pointed down.

i think its part of the whole safety thingy... aka like so the window isnt scraping the roof as it gets lifted and put back... idk if that makes sense? but i kno a lot of cars do that...

The windows lowered almost half way down before the top started its lowering process. The windows have never lowered that far before.My car was not on a hill. Just sitting in Home Depot's flat parking lot and I just getting ready to take off. This has been the warmest day yet this year. Maybe it has something to do with the interior of the car being hot??
