Question for the group: as you know, Porsche have configured the cabriolet so that one can't raise the rear windows when the windstop is raised. I've been told that this is so "you don't look like an #$%" when driving it. But having had a BMW 335 cab with a windstop, I found that having all the windows up at highway speeds made a material difference in terms of wind buffeting and overall noise. Is there a way to make the rear windows go up when the windstop is raised on the 992? Is there a hack for this?
Thanks.

I watched a YouTube review from last year, and I think the reviewer commented you can't raise the rear quarter light window (shark fins), while the front windows are down, and the top is down. I think maybe he is referring to wanting the wind stop up and the shark fin glass up, while keeping large side windows down... is that accurate?

Yep! That's exactly how I would spec it! I am in-between that and a Gentian Blue with black leather and speed blue stitching and Exclusive Wheels.... given the lack of allocations I can probably agonize a few more months over this!

Yes, it turns out I can raise the rear quarter windows with the windstop up and the front windows up (or down). Sheesh, my sales guy emphatically said this was impossible and showed me the red/orange light on the rear window icon as proof. When I tried to raise the rear windows once, the red/orange light was not on and it did not work so I assumed he was right!! As those of you who replied know, the red/orange light is NOT a lock but instead activates the rear quarter windows.
Lesson learned, I mean really??? Thanks all.
