Check that your doors close completely (windows do not hang up on the convertible top). Also after your battery has drained or cables removed (to charge or replace battery) the power windows on the convertible model must be "retrained" to close correctly. The procedure is in your owner's manual but basically it is to sit inside the vehicle with door closed and lower the window then raise. When the window is fully closed do not remove your finger from the "up" button but keep depressed for approx 25 seconds. If properly done and assuming the battery has enough charge, when you open door the window should lower automatically a fraction to clear the convertible top then automatically raise when the door is shut. Do the same for the passenger door.
