Window fuse pops when I use convertible top

Yesterday my '97 Boxster blew a fuse for the electric windows (slot D1, 20amp) when I lowered my convertible top. After replacing the fuse the windows rolled up and down fine until I activated the top again, which of course blew out the fuse again. Has this happened to anyone else out there before? Where should I look in diagnosing the problem? Everything is stock and I don't have any accessories plugged into the car.

Thanks,

Tim

I just remembered, the car did get rained on this weekend, which doesn't happen all that often here in Los Angeles. Could water have gotten in some where and affected it? Everything appears dry in the cabin.

No clue.

D1 is windows, but it should be 30 amp. D3 is the top and it is also 30 amps.

Oy vey, the previous owner had a 20 amp fuse in that slot and I didn't even bother to check the fuse guide before replacing it with another 20. I just put a 30a in tonight and hopefully that will do the trick. Thank you for your reply Tool Pants. I wonder why in the three months that I've owned the car it didn't blow until yesterday.
