No there was no popping sound, the window still works on occasion however it goes down automatically when I use the driver switch, it also didn't rattle this morning but I didn't mess with it long enough for it to start, whatever it is I'm sure it's in the first stages of completely breaking down, I though about the regulator but I can't tell since I don't know what the symptoms are pointing at, also checked if the softop is working wich it is, so I doubt it's the softop control module..

 

There are a few wrecked s2k in for sale area. Ask them for parts you may need. Going to be cheap only bad thing they aren't new. I would go ahead and swap out the switches and boards.

 

yeah I plan on buying from those but just wan't to buy the right part the first time..
