I don't want to offend because this is a completely legitimate question asked by many many folks, it just amazes me how many people have problems with window indexing. It literially should be on page 1 of the operating manual in large text because there are so many owners who have this happen and don't understand why or how to fix it.

Won't help a darn bit if no one reads the owner's manual.

Dumb question. What is a Window Valet? Is it some sort of electronic device that is added to the car to roll down the windows with the keyless FOB? If so, maybe there's something with the integration of that device-hickie that is messing with the vehicle electronics or window electronics?

Other than that, I don't have a "window valet" and I have never had an issue.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Please post when you find out the root-cause.

Even then you may forget and think it is something you did when you fixed something on the car and they won't work. Disconnect the battery and you'll find out, especially if you have the windows down and you own a vert.
