Well,end of my first week of Aero ownership and experienced (very hard) rain for the first time. Now, I wasn't expecting it to be totally waterproof but the top of the drivers door was like a waterfall, looking closer it looks like the drivers window isn't lifting far enough to seal into the hood.
Would anybody know whether there is any adjustment in the window? It looks like it could lift another 5mm or so.
Thanks
G

Hi Gareth,On my series 3 if the battery had been disconnected the windows did not close fully, they had to be reset.
Easy task,

Lower the window fully and keep the button pressed for 5 seconds, then raise the window fully and keep the button held for 5 seconds, that should reset the memory for the window to drop 5mm to allow the door to open without catching the hood and to raise again after the door is closed.

Hope that sorts it.

Yes this is an action you learn to do often. I would add that you do this with the key in the accessories position I think. It is one of the power on positions.

I would joke that they all do that but sometimes the evidence is overwhelming.

I saw that one as I researched Aeros, sort of went off Harris after he was an arse with some of his comments about Lotus!
Hope the bugger got very wet😀

I take it this drop does not occur on soft top Aero's fitted with a hardtop or can it be programmed in?
Thinking ala GTN..

Slight thread creep but.
Anyone got a quick fix for stopping the drip from the header rail on the easy up hoods fitted to the classics.
Mine leaked quite a bit today for the first time. I did check that the “bead” had not kinked. As far as can tell the water gets under the seal/bead then creeps up & over the W/Screen frame. Trouble is that seal looks good & sealed but obviously isn’t.
Thanks in advance.
