Verify that it is 100% correct. Did the sensor switch that attaches to the frame get re-attached properly?

Where is the sensor switch? I assume so because the top works with the old motor

Scan the sjb forscan for top or window related codes. You might be able to also see live data.
Somewhat of a guess, never worked on a vert.

So get it. For diagnostics its free, you dont need the license. Just need the Vlinker adapter,~$30 and a laptop pc.

If its windows, it should. If it does not have usb port, you would have to go BT dongle. I have both Vlinkers, usb&bt. Both work great for diagnostics. I only program with the usb.

Don't know what year your car is (05?), but on mine (2014), the rear window motors send a 'full down' signal to the body control module as part of the top lowering procedure.

Check the wiring diagram for the car. You can jump the pins to simulate 'full down' from the window motor if your car needs it.
