325i convertible power windows

Just bought this beautiful, low milage, time capsule from original owner. The front power windows need to manually get lowered 1/8 inch or so to fit into the convertible top track. If not lowered when closing the door the window catches on the outside portion of convertible top. My thoughts are the computer for window needs to be reset. Possibly a battery change threw off the computer. Can someone tell me if the window automatically drops down 1/8 inch when opening the door then rolls up when door closes. I realize the newer Bimmers do this and am not sure about 1989 models. If they are not working correctly what is the method to reset them? Thank you.

hi Ken,

Thank you again for your thoughts. I believe the really E30s did not have the feature of lowering window when closing door. There is supposed to be a small white sensor in door latch that operates window when door is opened and closed. I do not see that on this car.

hi Todd,

Thank you for the suggestion. I will call Monday and ask for Roger. I think it looks like the power down when opening and power up after closing did not come with my car. Apparently there is a small white switch on door latch that triggers the window. I did not see that on my car. But I will asl.

Thank you,

John
