TSB for window not closing when convertible top closed?

Have had an intermittent problem with the passenger window going up about 2/3 during top close then reversing as if it sensed an obstruction (arm). I do remember reading of at least on owner on here with the problem. So had the car into Braman West Palm today for it's routine services and this. They tell me its fine now, and now I find instead of being intermittent it now won't close EVERY time. Does anyone know of a TSB on this issue. I think the person I read on here had his window motor replaced but I can't remember. I should have left it alone and not let the dealer **** with it!

Why not take it back and have the dealer fix it? They did write it up didn't they and then tell you it was fixed...well fix it.

That's the plan but obviously they don't know what they're doing as is the the case with most dealerships. It will save a lot of time and prevent them from breaking something else in the process if I can find a TSB on the issue or someone else who had the same issue tells me what was done to fix it.

Had the car back to Braman, they replaced the electric motor (part 997-624-182-06, normally $526, was covered under warranty). Technician states window hits pinch protection when closing the top. Passenger window motor has internal short causing the window to hit pinch protection
