Are you going to be driving the car this winter?

I found the soft top diagnostic pdf and it mentions the two window limit switches preventing the top from going past 90 degrees. I know this car had both power window regulators recently done... Any idea where the soft top controller is? Pin outs for the window limit switches? (can we emulate the windows down to test if it's the switches?)

Also how do I "Synchronize" the windows??

The car rolls down the windows all the way, and drops the roll bar, the top comes up , but it doesnt go past 90 degrees.

No I'm probably not going to drive it much in the winter, but I'd still like the soft top to work for parking and other purposes.

Thanks in advance,

George
