I have just acquired a pre-facelift convertible. The electric windows all work but erratically (sometimes one will and other times it won't). The fact that they all work sometimes suggests it is a weak electrical connection, but I don't know the best place to start looking.

Has anyone had a similar problem?

Switches..they are the first place to look ...usually the contacts corrode, an easy fix, try it first

Great stuff. Thanks Dave. That's something to keep me occupied next weekend.

Cheers
