Convertible top & Quarter windows issue
My 2000 XK8 convertible top will not close and the rear windows won't raise. I manually closed the top and even after the latch was secured, the windows won't budge. The top will go down perfectly, but will not close. I've checked fluid, searched for fluid leaks, swapped relays - can't find the problem. Any ideas - what else I should check?This lovely economy has seriously effected our business - I really hope I can avoid a trip to the dealership. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Honestly, I didn't know I could open/close it that way. I bought it used and didn't come with owners manual. The online manuals didn't mention it. Is there a way make sure its the console switch? I have the console apart and it doesn't make sense to me why it would work to lower but not to raise - its all the same switch. But then again I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed either.

KeenStacey,
A switch is just that. It switches on/off, or one circuit to another. It just might be a connection somewhere and not the switch. Unplug the connector at the switch and plug it back in again and see if it starts to work. If you didn't buy the car new, someone may have spilled a liquid into it at some point. You can remove the switch and check it with an ohm meter also.
Gus,
ROTFLMAO!!

Thank You! I often wondered if my misfortune would help others.
I ran into a snag on the roof hose and had to go to another vender. So much for the Big boys! I think this guy may be interested in making the hose. It will amount to being near twice the heat and pressure ratings. I hope to have a hose in my hands that can be installed for a test. I hope to hear from him soon.
Will Let you know!

My old VW and Audi have this operation where you can use your key in the doorlock to open or close the windows. I believe it's a function to air out the hot air which has built up in your car on a hot sunny day before you get in.
On my XK8, I think the lock is busted, it only lets me close but won't let me open from the door lock.
