Whyissit?

That when I put my roof down, the windows stay up. Also, I can remotely close the windows if the roof is up but I can not lower the windows. Is there a setting for this behavior?

If you continue to hold the roof down button then the windows should lower a few seconds after the top has finished lowering.

The top probably comes down first, right? Well, I guess Mercedes just didn't think of everything.

I noticed the windows stay up when you put the roof down with or without the remote. the windows do move down slightly for clearance, also they move down when you open the door. this is to reduce pressure when closing the doors. Its a big improvement along with many other improvements compared to the 04. I bet you'll want a porsche for your next car.

I actually prefer them to be up. If you need them to go down just press and release the down roof switch and the windows should go down.

When you lower the roof with the key fob there is no way to lower the windows. The windows will raise from the key fob, though.

Yes there is. After the roof is completely lowered release the unlock button on the fob. Now repress and hold the unlock button and the windows will lower.

Thanks, you're right! Of course by then my thumb is numb from holding down the fob button!

Is there a way to lower all FOUR windows without lowering the top? So, the roof stays up and all FOUR windows go down.

This is covered in the owners manual. Double tap the roof button back twice.
