looking for opinions!!
I am creating a module in my 95 vette that works with the keyless entry. ( if you are not familiar with the keyless entry basically when you walk away from the car it locks without having to touch a thing, and then unlocks once you get back close to the car again.) now what I am adding is that when the top is off ONLY, and you walk away from the car, it locks of course and also puts up both windows. Then once you walk back close to the car it unlocks and puts the windows down so your ready to cruse or at this point its ready to put the top back on. good idea? worth the work? anyone interested on the details? anyone heard of something like this? questions? comments please!

Not sure how your going to do this.
Your going to have to come up with some way for the system to even know if the top is off the car. There are no electrical connections in the stock setup.
The concept sounds cool though.

i have a micro switch installed in the from drivers side top to ground (-), the installation of everything will take some time (a few hours) but i'm quite sure there will be no problems with it working.
Thanks for the feed back

also if the top is off and it begins to rain, the windows should go down before you set the top back on, therefor you do not need to open the car, put the keys in and put down the windows meanwhile your car is filling up with water

Doesn't seem logical. I personally do not like leaving the top down if I am going to be leaving the car alone for any appreciable amount of time and unless your windows are also going to project some kind of force field they won't serve as much of a deterrent, especially against rain since the top cannot also come up or down on remote by itself. You would need some kind of sensor that could tell whether the top was up or down, which sounds like more work than it's worth.
It would be outrageously flashy though
