Default Rear quarter windows up - top down.

With our '07 SLK 280, I can find no way to get the rear quarter windows up with the top down. Where we live this would be a good advantage with heated seats and airscarf to extend "top down" weather into the colder months.

Does anybody know of any modification to get these little windows up when the top is down?

nope im afraid....

as far as i am aware there is no way to do this.

however when the top is up you can drop the small side windows by double tapping the roof down button.

Cold is relative!

We were out last weekend in the frost, blue skies, top down, wearing a down jacket and warm hat... perfect!

Yes, I realize with stock wiring and switching, there is no way the get the rear quarter windows up with the top down. I spent two hours sitting in the car and going through the owners' manual to so conclude.

I was just wondering if there were some relatively simple and inexpensive "wiring trick" to get them up.
