Default lowering the small side windows

Hey Guys,

Just purchased a 2002 sc430 for the hell of it and I must say...what a great car. My prior car was a 2004 Mercedes CL500 and I loved the fact that I could lower the front windows and the back seat windows. Question...is it possible to do the same in the SC while the top is up?

As the above response implies, the answer to your question is no, not without adding aftermarket modifications. I have been driving mine since 2001 and find the back windows so small that, other than reading the occasional question here, the issue never occurred to me.
As long as they go down with the top, that's fine with me.

The LuxLink just includes a generic third-party roll down/up module. You could do it without the LuxLink, although you'd have to come up with a trigger.

And note that the windows operate sequentially, not simultaneously. Also, once you change the rear window position, you'll need to cycle the power to use the top because after the ECU sees the windows out of position, it says "no way, no how."

It's possible with the "quarter window mod".... Do a search on this forum, you'll find how it's done!
