Hi,

Have an S2000, silverstone 2001 model (built 2000) - Everytime the auto switch is used to fully up the window, it automatically comes back down (half-way) as soon as it reaches the top.

I can 'manually' keep my finger on the up button and let go as soon as it reaches the top which will work ok. Funny enough when I use the auto up while it's all the way up, it does seem to come back down as mentioned. The only thing I can think of that triggers the 'down' movement is the roof openning.

My Honda dealer has replaced the main door switch (1st repair) but this only lasted for a day ro so before the problem ocurred again. On the 2nd repair visit, they were confident that the replacement of the window motor should do the trick. This lasted for about a week before the same problem again. They are currently looking into it again.

I did get a Boomerang (Korean) alarm installed (with paging, engine start, window lift, etc) as soon as I got the car which has created some uncertainty as to whether this (window lift ?) may be causing the whole problem.

Any ideas / advice ???

 

I believe that your auto window switch from your alarm, could be giving mixed signals from the switch that auto rolls the windows down as the convertible top drops.
just a thought...

 

I don't know about the cars they import to Australia, but American versions only have an auto-down window on the driver's side unless you are lowering the top, and then both windows auto-down. In order to raise either window you must depress the button for the duration of the lift. I think this is some sort of safety feature to keep from catching objects such as fingers or arms in the window.

 

Thanks all, I had no idea that US versions only came with driver auto-down. Ozzie versions come with driver auto-down and auto-up.
