Retractable Top Question...

When I use the buttons on my key to lower the top, why don't the windows go down as well? Also, when closing the top why does the crash bar raise? Can I set this up to my liking?

After your top is down, press and hold the unlock key again to lower your windows.

For the roll bar to raise, that shouldn't be going off after you close the top. I say ask your Dealer about that.

Thanks for the quick response Ricky. I've been looking at the Renntech site at some of the performance mods and was wondering what you thought of the pulley and ECU upgrade? Thats a lot of cash for a few hp but I'm looking to make a few more ponies without breaking the bank. What mods have impressed you?

I know one of our W220's has the RENNtech ECU. You can always tell which one just by driving it

I say the ECU mod should be one of the first mods anyone does for a car. If they aren't satisfied with that massive increase in the peak hp, and as well as the under the curve optimization, go for the other mods as well.

If you know you want more than one RENNtech mod, I can arrage and and get you a deal, but none the less, if you arne't sure, you can always tell me later and I'll work out the same thing because we're all friends here.
