Question for those with soft tops...
Hello! So I just got my car back from the dealership for service (had the grinding starter issue along with a faulty rain sensor), and I was talking to my service adviser about the windows having an auto-up feature. Auto-down works fine, and I have the extra "click" where I thought auto-up would be, but it doesn't work. Instead, at the normal "up" position nothing happens, and where the auto-up would be the windows just roll up normally when I hold the switch.
My adviser said that this was normal for soft-top Z4's, and only available for the hard-tops. My question for those of you with soft-tops: do your windows have the auto-up feature? My Z4 is an '06si with the power-top option. Thanks! |

"service adviser" HA! I say.
It works on the soft top, but you have to run a calibration regimen first, so it knows where "up" is.

Auto up works just dandy on my 06 3.0 SI. Your service advisor is wrong. Follow the calibration procedure above. When closed, the windows should also dip about 1/4 inch when you open the doors and snug back up against the window seal when you close the doors.

I forgot what it was supposed to do, but after I installed the smartTOP controller I noticed I had an issue with it only doing 1 function when the button feels like it should be 2. Its been so long since I drove my car now that I cant remember what it did before the install and what it does after.

The other strange thing is that the windows do dip about 1/4 inch when I open the doors, so that part is working normally. It's just the auto-up that's not working. |

Just like down. That always seems to work. I've never lost my auto down, but I've lost the auto up after having the battery disconnected.

Just another chime in. I have a 2006 3.0si roady and has always had autoup on the windows. Just pull all the way past the click and let go, windows slide up.
However, I do have an annoying problem with the windows going up partway and bouncing back down at random once activating autoup. Whats up with that?

Also, if you close both of them, make sure you let the first one get all the way closed before starting the second one.
The slight power dip when the first window hits the top will stall the second one just enough that it thinks it hit something.

Thanks for all the responses guys! Looks like I'll have to make another appointment at the stealership. Thankfully they gave me a 60 day warranty when I bought the car!
