Default Windows on convertible not closing properly

Hi

Normally the windows should seal into the hood when you shut your door, well sometimes they do and othertimes they don't?

Also they go up before i close the door so the glass is too high to go under the hood. I find if i send them all the way down and back up they work sometimes.

Whats the problem??

Default Window Adjustment

XK8Rupes - The window movement up and down can be self adjusted by holding the up and down switches for approx. 3-5 seconds at the up and down positions.
If you have already performed this task, go to FAQ in the thread section, scroll down to Interior/Mechanical Issues, go to Adjustment of Window using regulator stop - WITH VIDEO - in which Rev Sam has produced an excellent video on how to remove the door panel and adjust the window regulator mechanism.

What he is referring to is normally caused by a failed microswitch in the door latch assembly.
