Question Raising/Lowering All Windows?

It finally stopped storming here this afternoon, the sun peeked out, so I pulled the new SLK350 out of the garage for the first time. The in-dash thermometer read 60, but with the top down the air scarf felt pretty good.

Here's my question: While driving with the top down, and the windows down, I wanted to see what the interior wind turbulence was like with all four windows up. I remember reading in the owner's manual (okay, sorry, yes, I did read through the manual ) that you can use the roof open/close switch on the console in quick double-pushes to raise or lower all windows. I wasn't ever able to pull off the correct sequence. I got the front windows to go up/down together using that sequence, but never figured out how to pull the rears along with the fronts. I double-checked the manual when I got home, and it seems like I'm doing what's written in the book.

What's the secret? Was I not rubbing my belly and my head at the same time I was pushing the switch? Any idea? Thanks.

You can not put all four windows up when the top is down.

Talking

Thanks. That would explain why I couldn't do it.

Right... can't put all four up with top down, but can put all four windows down with top up. This is accomplished with a short tap down on the top switch, then holding it down until all windows are open. Kind of a tap-hold, if that makes sense.

My mistake... double tap for all down, tap-hold for all four up.
