550 SL
Shouldn't my windows go up automatically when I put up my top?

Hey guys... I just traded my 2003 500SL in for an 2009 550SL. In my 2003, when I put up the hard top, all 4 windows went up automatically and pressure sealed indicating the end of the process. In this 2009, the top raises fine, but all the windows stay down. Can someone confirm if this is normal and if not, what I might be able to do to fix that. This is very annoying.

sorry to say it's normal... after the top is fully closed, you have hold the window buttons till ALL windows close or i sometimes use the key remote to close them from outside the car. it was annoying for me also at first but i've gotten used to it now.
