I'm wondering if it has to do with the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) since you normally need to configure any changes to the instrument cluster back with the ECU on most cars.

@Craig Joplin Are you saying that when the roof in it's fully retracted position, the windows are still lowered 4"? If this is the case, do you see the roof operation indicator light illuminated or not on the dash?
