Greg, you will need to reset the windows after you get the top working. In the auxiliary fuse box behind the center upright section of the rear seat, check fuse 8 to see if it is blown. If F8 is good, then run through the procedure in this attachment.

Attachment is an excerpt from White XKR's remote top installation guide.

 

Mine is a 98 XK8

Under the box on the center console are 5 relays and 2 calanoids. When my top quit, I took it to Motorocars in Miami for an electrical diagnostic and paid a $180 fixed fee for them to search that area for the problem. Then got lucky. my problem was a relay replacement - damaged at time transmission was rebuilt. Do not know how much time it would have taken to search other areas.

Important - once repaired, must lubricate the hinges on the top and the latch. I use WD 40 dry silicone. Apply with q tips in areas near the headliner and roof lights. If that is too slow for you, spray on a rag and rub joints. Then get a good rubber treatment, I use 303 but there are other good ones. Keep the rails clean and moist. Cannot find replacement rails for older that 2003.

Then I wash the top. Use a lint roller and micro fiber rub to prepare. Then I use 303 cleaner and protectant to keep water out of the car. Apply these products with a brush rather than the spray. The spray will work, I just want to be certain to keep the protectant off the windows and paint.
