Default Unlimited Rear Windows Open On Their Own
Hey all,

Anyone else have an issue with the rear windows opening on their own (rolling down) about an inch? Drives me crazy.

I didn't have the problem until I stored my top with the window open over the summer.

Are you talking about manual or power windows?I have the manual windows and about once a week I have to reach back and roll them up.Whenever I start to hear wind noise,I roll them up.

Same here, always check mine when it rains.Odd that the rears do it and not the frt though. Maybe it's because they get rolled up and down more and I don't notice it.

Mine almost never get rolled up or down, and they still do it.

Reposition your crank handles so that the weight of the knobs try to roll the window up instead of down. Nuthin to it really.

I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

Hey, Red how do I reposition it? I thought maybe the handle just pops off, but i don't want to break it.

Manual, not powered. I was thinking this too, just need to find the time.
