so i just drove home my 02 s2000 and i was lowering the top when i noticed it didn't go down all the way. i believe the window was blocking it from going down all the way......what do i do?

well thats a problem already. Your windows should go down when you hit the button for the top and theyre staying up for some reason

I'm assumin' (doin' alodda that today) that you're talkin' about the raggtopp window ger. Is the temp outside cooler than usual? If it is maybe the cold-stiffened material of the top jus' isn't lettin' it fall into place as easily as it would in warmer temps.
I know that I can pretty much tell the temperature by how far my top folds down. Could you be experiencin' some'a that?
Be well.

The top will look like it's up about 10 degrees when it is totally down. The forward, outter (where they come against the "A" piller) points of the top still stick up a little when the top is totally down. If it is sticking up higher than that, something could be holding it up. Some pictures or a better description would be nice.

I've had this happen before. There is a bar in the middle of the top that isn't rotating back. When you are opening the top and its about half way down reach up and push the bar back.
