    I lowered the roof today on my 07 megane and noticed too that the rear drivers side window hadn't gone down. Tried all three switches and it wouldn't budge. But the roof went down and back up without a problem, so i hope that answers your're question. Haven't checked fuses yet as it got dark.

    Just wondering does the hydraulic mechanism used to raise/ lower your roof make a terrible racket when operated. Mine squeals and groans quite loudly and today I had to help the roof up by hand when it separates away from the screen . It did everything else itself though! Could I be low on Hydraulic oil ? Do you, cork sham or does anybody know can it be dipped or inspected and topped up if it needs some.

    i think the megane roof develops its own "personality" over time! mine has a knack that means its has to have the roof button pushed briefly, then held to drop or raise the roof. Took it to renault who said it was no major problem and my system would be fine.

    Also, how is your 1.6 engine running? Mine sounds quiet rough after warm up on idle

    My engine is very smooth. I actually cant hear it running when it's idleing.
    Took it into Renault Enniskillen re roof, and they told me hydrualic system needs to be drained and refilled with good quality oil. Mine apparantly is low grade and dirty. They'll supply oil and labour for 40 stg. Seems ok
