Are you sure it's 3" and both windows? The auto drop feature is about 3/4" on my windows. If it's in fact both windows and the distance of the auto drop I'm guessing the micro switch up there has failed. Although I have no experience with this failure there is much discussion on the boards about it.

If you top can go down and all the way back up with the rear deck closing I believe your B-pillar micro switch and rear deck micro switch are working their correct logic. Thus the center one is most likely at fault. When it is unlatched (or thinks it's unlatched) then it is grounded according to Bentley.

See the 2nd to last line.

If it's only one window that will not go up you have a different problem most likely related to the window drive cables fraying...

after piddling with it for a little while i can push my finger in where the hook goes...there is a little button and if i push it far in it will close...when the hook is in it seems like its not pushing that switch/button all the way or as far as it needs to go. hmm.... i guess i'll have to take it apart and see about adjusting it. for now i have a piece of paper stuck in there for it to shut..haha

I just started running into this exact issue. Did you find a fix? Appreciate any insight.
