Thanks for the info bobterry. By the way, how many times do you see movies where they do just that, bring the top down while moving, expecially on a newer vehicle. I keep thinking that car would not let you do that now that most convertibles have a special mechanism to stop it. With most you have to have the hand brake on! By the way, I never try and do that so that code 29 must've been there from before. I've only had the car for two months now.
I never had any problems with the top or the windows. They always work fine except that when the top is up and I'm driving, the odd time the alarm would start to sound (usually when I hit a bump) and then I have to push the button forward once or twice for it to stop. As if the top is not secured.
The other day it kept on doing it over and over again to I decided to check out the codes. Odd thing happened though. I was following your advice about keeping the button pushed for 80 secs to store a code after putting the top up. After about 30 sec or so, the passenger side window suddenly dropped about 2 inches but I kept the button pushed forward. Then every 2 secs or so, the window would creep up a bit and then again a bit more until it was all the way up again. The light never did come on to show that a code was stored but I was still able to retrieve the codes mentioned earlier so I'm assuming they must have been stored from before. I should mention that my passenger side window comes up fine usually until about two inches from the top and then it slows down like it's hitting some resistance until it reaches the top. I don't know if that's related to the odd thing that happened. The driver's side window has no issues at all.
I was expecting the codes to indicate a latch problem so I will wait for it and see if the alarm goes off again sometime and I'll check the codes right after to see what's up since I think codes 18 and 29 might have been stored from way before.
