First check the passenger window kill switch on the driver's side door. If none of the other windows go down that's probably the case.

Is there any motor noise? The rear quarter windows on the vert are notorious for coming off their track but usually move a little. Is there any binding?

Your switch might be bad.

I think the top going down overrides the switch so they will go down even if switch is engaged. Glad to hear it was nothing major.

I think I misunderstood. So you turn on the kill switch, so quarter window switch wouldn't work on center console, but quarter windows still go down when you drop the top, right? Yeah, like cmkelly said top down overrides the switch.

yea if the switch is engaged you cant roll them down or up. If their up and you put the top down the windows will go down.
