        After lowering the hood should the rear quarter windows rise to the close position.I asked the guy I bought my car from and he said you have to turn the leaver on the pump resivour . is this a quick fix bodge or is this normal . or a relay etc down? Car is a 96 4.celebration 4 seat.

          Hi Bob

          When you put the roof down one of the first thing that happens is the rear quarter windows drop down and say down.

          When you raise the roof back up, as it nears the last stage then the rear quarters pop back up again.

          If you interior the lower or raising sequence then everything gets confused – you can end up with the roof up and the quarter Windows still down. If this happens you should fully lower the roof and then raise it again.

          As far as I know, you can’t raise the rear quarter Windows with the roof down

            Thats great, just as long as I know thats right. Had a SLK & other rag tops That rise to cut out draft but they were cheap motors nothing as high tec as a Jaguar.

              The rear quarter on one of our convertibles got stuck in the up position for a while, and we actually found that the combination of having it still up and the wind deflector made it very comfortable to cruise at speed.

              Such that we have considered seeing if we could install an additional bit of wiring to override the ‘programmed’ position (both up and down positions) – needs some thoughts though 🙂
