SL Top & Window sequence
If I lower the top with the windows down the function will raise all 4 windows into the closed position while the top opens, which just forces me to open the windows again. This seems to be just the opposite of what should occure!
I hope that there is a way for me to re-program the windows and top to lower together. Can anyone help?

Not that I'm aware of. As far as I can tell, the programming is to always deliver the car to the same state regardless of how it starts out. In my experience this is with the front windows fully raised, but with the rear quarter windows down.
One benefit of this is that it avoids the possibility of inadvertently ending up in the geeky roof down, front windows down, rear quarter panes sticking up state.
In cases when I want the windows down, I just hit the auto-down buttons, so it's not a big deal, but it does seem like wasted motion to raise and re-lower the windows...
On a related note, is there a way to open and close the rear quarters without lowering the front windows? I sometimes need to do this to re-seat the rear window and cut out some wind noise.
