Window question
Is it possible to rolldown your rear windows with the top up? I saw a few pics with the top up and all of the windows down but can't seem to do it on my own car.

yep.

once your front windows are down, press the window switch down again and hold it and the rear windows will go down.

that should do it

Weird
What is weird, when putting the windows back up, the front windows will come up first leaving the rear side windows down, you have to pull up on the window switches again to get the rear windows up.

That is correct! I was told by my AMG engineer that the best way to enjoy the sound of an SL55 was to have the top up, and just the rear windows down.

.......He was right!
