Are the windows dropping down when you try to lower the top or not?

See if the "express down" feature works on the windows. The first thing that must happen is the windows must fully lower. If the windows aren't synchronized they won't lower and that stops everything.

i tryed the express down on the windows they both worked the first time, and the rollbar came up by itself. now the express down for the left door does not work, and i can not put the rollbar down, and the switches are still lit, do i have a bad window switch? thank you very much for your help. randy and mon

Try resynchronizing both windows. Confused on why you say the roll bar came up by itself.
