Glitchy power windows
Ap1 - drivers window does not open when the top is lowered. It is inconsistent - sometimes it starts to open and then stops after an inch or two. The auto-down feature also glitches after an inch or two - I have tried the reset procedure of holding the button down for 7–10 seconds and then up for the same interval (until the click is heard); this fixes the auto down feature temporarily... Passenger side usually opens completely with the top, though once in a while it doesn’t go up right away requiring a held button.. (maybe 5 seconds) / any suggestions?

This is, alas, an all-too-common failure of the driver's window regulator. I believe I read somewhere that it's a failure of a weak solder joint,
but I might be making that up, and as far as I know nobody is repairing them, just replacing. It only affects the auto-down though - not a
sign of imminent death of the regulator
