My driver's side window stopped going down all the way a week or two ago when I would lower the top. I have read this is a common problem so I had my dealer order me a new window regulator.
Yesterday all of a sudden the window started acting fine, like there was never a problem. Now one of the other S2000 owners in this area had the same problem only on his passenger's window and he had the same end result, after not working for a while it just fixed itself and is now fine.
So I'm thinking, how does it fix itself and should I go ahead and have it replaced?
I have had the problem of the auto-down feature not working after removing the door trim (when I was installing new speakers). I have encountered it a few times and it always fixes itself after turning the car off and on again a few times...
Very strange.

I think the window regulator problem has always been reported as intermittent; I know it has been for me. I've had mine replaced twice now. BTW, if you have yours fixed and wind up with a really annoying squeak, I can tell you what to do.
